Update 1 (July 24, 2009): Further information (inc. the programme) has been posted here: http://sites.google.com/site/nasphdocs/nasph-2009. Original Post (January 5, 2009): 4th Annual Conference of the North American Society for Philosophical Hermeneutics. Merold Westphal (Fordham University) will present the keynote address. Submissions for papers are invited on all themes related to philosophical hermeneutics, but we are especially interested in papers related to the theme of Philosophical Hermeneutics and Religion. In order to promote a spirit of dialogue and meaningful reflection on each paper, presenters will be asked to make their papers available for posting on our web site to be read in advance. Sessions will consist of 15-20 minutes of reflective summaries of papers, followed by 45-60 minutes of discussion. Since papers will not be read in-session, there is some flexibility regarding length: submissions may be between 3,000 and 6,000 words in length. Complete papers, formatted for blind review, must be submitted electronically to nasphermeneutics@gmail.com. Attachments in either *.doc or *.rtf format are preferable. The deadline for full-paper submissions is June 1, 2009. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by July 15, 2009. For more information about the society and/or to be put on an e-mail list, please visit our blog at the URL below or contact Monica Vilhauer (vilhauer@roanoke.edu) or Jamey Findling (findlingj@newmanu.edu).
