6th Latin Meeting in Analytic Philosophy
Faculty of Letters, University of Lisbon
2-4 November 2011
The Latin Meeting in Analytic Philosophy is a biennial meeting that takes place under the auspices of ESAP (the European Society for Analytic Philosophy) the Italian Society for Analytic Philosophy (SIFA), and the Spanish Society for Analytic Philosophy (SEFA) and the Portuguese Society for Analytic Philosophy (SPFA).
The "Latin" connection is important. There are a number of affinities ― intellectual, affective and geographic ― among Southern European countries. The main argument in favour of this link is the fact that France, Spain, Portugal and Italy are faced with similar institutional problems, which do not affect countries like Sweden or Finland because their university systems are closer to those of, say, Anglo-Saxon countries by training and structure. We believe academic links among Southern European countries should be reinforced, so that academic communities in those countries could raise their standing in the overall international scene. Philosophy is no exception to this and the joint organization of international conferences in the area is one obvious way of implementing the idea. LanCog, as a research group integrated in the Philosophy Centre of the University of Lisbon, has been playing a relevant role as far as the above-mentioned joint effort is concerned, and more so in recent years.
The purpose of the Latin Meetings (organized since 2001 in one of the Latin European countries) is to provide an opportunity for researchers (mainly) from those countries to present their work. Such research will be representative of the research in analytic philosophy carried out in the so-called Latin countries. All material presented is non-published, one main goal of the meetings being to enable researchers to present to minimally demanding audiences work-in-progress versions of articles to be submitted to international blind-refereed journals. Although this is not a necessary condition, preference is given to young researchers concluding their doctoral dissertations, and philosophers who have completed their PhD within the last 5 years. Each presentation lasts 40 minutes and is followed by 20-minute commentary and by 30 minutes of open discussion.
