CALL FOR PAPERS

We invite submissions for the conference’s parallel Open Sessions. Submissions from postgraduate students are very welcome. We especially encourage papers that connect Nietzsche’s postmoralism to the project’s wider remit: namely, a critical assessment of Nietzsche’s significance for modern moral philosophy.

Possible topics include (but are by no means limited to):

What ‘postmoralism’ is or means; what sort of alternative to ‘morality’ Nietzsche intends (e.g. perfectionist or otherwise, social or individualistic); who is to bring about, or engage in, this alternative ideal; Nietzsche’s ideal type; how ‘immoral’ Nietzsche’s postmoralism is; which values might survive Nietzsche’s critique of morality and/or feature in his positive ideal; whether Nietzsche’s postmoralism is adequately motivated by his critique of morality; the justificatory/metaethical status of Nietzsche’s positive normative/evaluative claims…

Submissions should not exceed 4,000 words. Papers should be presentable in 25 mins.

Submission deadline: 9th April 2010

Successful Authors will be informed by 7th May.

Submissions to be sent to: s.j.robertson@soton.ac.uk

We hope to be able to subsidise parts of the conference costs for delegates presenting in the conference’s Open Sessions (further details tbc).
