SPP was founded in 1974 to provide a forum for exchanging > ideas on the very latest empirical and philosophical approaches to > the mind. The name of the Society signals the traditional liaison > between philosophy and psychology, but our interests extend well > beyond these fields. Our membership also includes scholars from > linguistics, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, cognitive > anthropology, artificial intelligence, psychopathology, and > cognitive ethology. Some of the most important and well-known > research themes in the cognitive sciences were discussed in their > nascent stages at the Society's annual meeting. These meetings are > lively and collegial, and present an unrivalled opportunity for > intellectually stimulating conversations that cross traditional > academic boundaries. The Society takes special pride in creating a > supportive atmosphere for researchers in the early stages of their > careers, including graduate students. Many of them have gone on to > become prominent contributors to their fields and to the present > life of the Society. > > In addition to invited lectures and symposia and contributed papers > and posters, the Society has recently added workshops on empirical > topics of interest to our members. > > THE 2008 WILLIAM JAMES PRIZE > > History: At the 1996 annual Business Meeting, SPP membership moved > to create an award for graduate student papers accepted for oral > presentation in contributed sessions at subsequent annual meetings. > The SPP funds up to two awards yearly, with no more than one award > per discipline. Awards are $250 paid out of SPP funds, and a > certificate. The yearly panel of judges includes the Program Co- > Chairs and the President, as well as any other willing SPP > officers, executive committee members, or regular members requested > by this group. Having a paper accepted for oral presentation in a > contributed session alone is not sufficient for receiving an award. > At the 1997 meeting, membership moved to rename the award The > William James Prize, in light of James' contributions to both > philosophy and psychology. Information on past winners is available > on the SPP website. > > Rules for Submission > > 1. To be eligible for the William James Prize, one must be pursuing > a doctoral degree in philosophy, psychology, or other relevant > disciplines, and must not have received the Ph.D. by the submission > deadline for contributed papers. This year's submission deadline is > February 1st, 2008. > > 2. The William James Prize committee will determine the prize- > winners (if any) only after the program decisions have been made. > > 3. Prize-winners will be acknowledged by a special insert in the > conference program, and will receive their check and certificate at > the annual Presidential Address and Banquet. > > 4. The author(s) of the winning paper(s) will have the option to > publish a version of their paper, revised in light of the > conference discussion, in the journalPhilosophical Psychology. > > 5. Please indicate your interest in being considered for the 2008 > William James Prize in a cover letter accompanying your submission, > if you send your paper by mail. If you submit it electronically, > you have to check the appropriate box. > > 6. Your submission should follow the guidelines outlined in the > general call for papers. > > Please bring the SPP William James award to the attention of your > graduate students. > > PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP IN EXPERIMENTAL PHILOSOPHY > > Wednesday, June 25th, 2-6 and Thursday, June 26th, 9-12 > > Philosophers often support their arguments by claiming that > relevant premises, principles, or thought experiments are intuitive > or commonsensical. In the last few years there has been a surge of > work in 'experimental philosophy' that uses experimental methods to > test (a) whether these claims about ordinary intuitions are > accurate, (b) whether (and which) intuitions provide evidential > support for philosophical theories, and (c) what psychological > processes generate intuitions and beliefs about philosophical > issues. In this workshop, we will discuss the aims and methods of > experimental philosophy, criticisms of its aims and methods, and > the methods that have been used and that could be used in > experimental philosophy. At this point, participants include Joshua > Knobe, Edouard Machery, Bertram Malle, Ron Mallon, John Mikhail, > Thomas Nadelhoffer, Eddy Nahmias, Shaun Nichols, Eric Schwitzgebel, > and Jonathan Weinberg. > > Please address any questions about the pre-conference workshop to: > > Eddy Nahmias (Dept. of Philosophy, Georgia State University) > enahmias@gsu.edu > > > > > > Printer friendly PDF version of this Call for Papers > > > > > > > > >
