Philosophers of  the Arabs

 

7. Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology   

 

Organizes on 2-5 June. 2016

Kanazawa, Japan

the International conference on

 

 "Ethno-Epistemology - Culture, Language, and Methodology "

Topic:

The conference is inspired by the Epistemology for the Rest of the World conference held in Tokyo in 2013 (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2FOVjNl4-fQdmpBRGJpZS1EakE/edit). Following the success of that conference, we will broaden the perspective, inviting not only linguists and philosophers, but also social psychologists and anthropologists. The conference will explore whether linguistic and/or cultural differences affect our knowledge attribution or other epistemological practices, and the philosophical and scientific implication of such possible variance.

We invite submissions of abstracts from philosophers from all over the world, as well as from linguists, psychologists, anthropologists, and researchers in related fields. Abstracts should be approximately 500words.  The deadline for submission of abstracts is October 1, 2015. Papers accepted for presentation or poster-presentation will be announced by December 1, 2015.
