We will also consider papers by graduate students in areas of
philosophy related to social-political thought and value theory, and
interdisciplinary papers relevant to philosophy on the same subjects. See abstracts of papers from prior conferences on our website (URL below).

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers must be

? Received by December 20, 2005

? Accompanied by an abstract of no more than 250 words
? Submitted with a single cover sheet indicating your name,
institution, address, phone number, and email address. (Papers will be judged by
anonymous review and so should contain no indication of authorship on
any page other than the cover page.)

We only accept papers electronically, and not by post. Papers should be
submitted via email to philconf@msu.edu. Please send cover sheet,
abstract, and paper in one file as an attachment, and not in the body of the

Those who wish to be commentators can send a message expressing this
desire to the above email address, including contact information, areas of
interest, and a relevant writing sample.

questions, including requests for accommodations for persons with disabilities, to the Organizing Committee at philconf@msu.edu. We endeavor to provide free
