Cfp: "Philosophical Futures: a Day of Φιλο-ΣοΦια (Philo-Sophia): Friendship and Philosophical Discussion," Murdoch University, December, 1 2008.

Update: The programme is now available here: http://philosophy.murdoch.edu.au/program_08.html. Original Post (July 25, 2008): The Murdoch Philosophy Association, in conjunction with the Murdoch School of Social Sciences and Humanities and the Faculty of Arts and Education, invites abstracts of 250 words for twenty-minute papers in any field of philosophy, or related disciplines. In choosing Philosophical Futures as the theme of this year’s Colloquium, we hope to encourage contributions that consider questions relating to the connections between philosophy and the future, for example, future directions for philosophy, links between philosophical pasts and futures, the role of philosophy in shaping the future, and the relevance of philosophy for future generations of theory and practice, life and reflection.
