SSHAP 2020 at Vienna Postponed to 2021

The Ninth Annual SSHAP Meeting at the University of Vienna is now postponed to 2021. We thank Georg Schiemer, Florian Kolowrat, and the rest of the organizing team at the University of Vienna, for all the work they had done to set up the conference for July 2020. We also thank Prof. George Karamanolis, head of the Philosophy Department at the University of Vienna, for supporting the process of postponing the conference to 2021. We are very hopeful that the Ninth Annual Meeting will take place in Vienna in 2021 at roughly the same time of year. More information on this postponement will be posted at this site as it becomes available.

All officers and members of the Board of SSHAP will have their terms extended by one year, and 2020 elections will take place in 2021.

Our best wishes to all for your safety and health.

SSHAP 2020 Update

At the present time, the Ninth Annual SSHAP Meeting at the University of Vienna has NOT been cancelled. However, given the rapidly changing situation with COVID-19, there is a significant chance that we will be forced to cancel. We know that many scholars who were planning to participate are facing travel and funding restrictions, and we will make a definitive decision by mid-April. We are also looking into possibilities for postponing the conference to a future date, in case of cancellation. Our best wishes to all for your safety and health.

SSHAP – Call for Abstracts

SSHAP is an international organization aimed at promoting discussion in all areas of scholarship concerning the development of philosophical logic, philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind, metaphysics, ethics and metaethics, the philosophy of science, and epistemology. It welcomes scholars interested in the many ways in which the disciplines were influenced by thinkers such as Bolzano, Brentano and his school, Husserl, Frege, Russell, the Vienna Circle, Wittgenstein, Tarski, Quine and the Polish school, for instance, but also seeks to promote work engaging with lesser know figures and trends.   SSHAP invites submissions for its 2020 annual conference.
