EUROPEAN SOCIETY FOR PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY
CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE 2001 ANNUAL MEETING
FRIBOURG, SWITZERLAND, 8-11 AUGUST, 2001

http://www.unifr.ch/philo/espp/

The aim of the Society is "to promote interaction between
philosophers and psychologists on issues of common concern".
Psychologists, neuroscientists, linguists, computer scientists and
biologists are encouraged to report experimental, theoretical and
clinical work that they judge to have philosophical
significance; and philosophers are encouraged to engage with the
fundamental issues addressed by and arising out of such work. In
recent years ESPP sessions have covered such topics as spatial
concepts, simulation theory, attention, reference, problems of
consciousness, emotion, perception, early numerical cognition,
infants' understanding of intentionality, memory and time, motor
imagery, counterfactuals, the semantics/pragmatics distinction,
reasoning, vagueness, mental causation, action and agency,
thought without language, externalism, connectionism,
and the interpretation of neuropsychologica results. The complete
list of invited speakers and themes for invited symposia will be
available shortly. At present, confirmed Invited Speakers include:

SYDNEY SHOEMAKER, Cornell
MICHAEL TOMASELLO, Leipzig
ALICE TER MEULEN, Groningen

Confirmed Invited Symposia include:

VOLITION, convened by PETER GOLLWITZER , Konstanz
PERCEPTION: OBJECTS AND THEIR SHADOWS, convened by
ROBERTO CASATIi, Paris

The Society invites submitted papers and posters for this meeting.
Submitted papers are refereed and selected on the basis of quality
and relevance to both psychologists and philosophers. Papers
should not exceed a length of 30 minutes (about 8 double-spaced
pages). Submissions should take the form of either a 1000 word
summary, or a full paper. In either case they should be
accompanied by a 300 word camera-ready abstract (to be included
in the conference booklet). There will also be poster presentations.
A submission for a poster presentation should consist of a 500-
word abstract. Submitted papers may also be considered for
presentation as posters.
