CFP: Special Issue of SOCIETATE SI POLITICA: "Arts of thinking, arts of healing in early Modern Europe"

The Journal „Societate şi politica” is searching for scholarly articles and book reviews for its Spring 2012 issue, a special issue on:

Arts of thinking and arts of healing in Early Modern Europe:
Philosophy, Medicine and Politics

Invited editors: Dana Jalobeanu, Oana Matei, Laura Georgescu

The medical paradigm was a powerful heuristic tool in early modern thought. It was employed in various disciplines, but was particularly successful in Renaissance and early modern philosophy. The ancient tradition of cultivating and ‘medicining’ the soul went through a number of important transformations during the sixteenth and seventeenth century and influenced in a number of ways the development of early modern philosophy and science. Concomitantly and sometimes developed within the same disciplinary clusters, one can find a sustained preoccupation for the invention or reformation of the art(s) of thinking. This special issue of Societate si politica seeks articles exploring the connections and intersections between these themes. It welcomes research coming from different fields (history of philosophy, history and philosophy of science, history and philosophy of mathematics, history of medicine etc.) and especially encourages cross-disciplinary approaches.

Society and Politics is a scholarly peer-reviewed journal (http://uvvg.ro/socpol/). It welcomes original, high-quality research coming from the disciplines of philosophy, history of political thought, intellectual history, history and philosophy of science, favoring interdisciplinary and cross- disciplinary approaches. Papers no longer than 8.000 words, or book reviews no longer than 800 words should be submitted to: dana.jalobeanu@celfis.ro. For the authors guidelines see: http://uvvg.ro/socpol/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=53

All papers will go through a process of blind-reviewing.
Deadline 30th of January 2011.

CFP: Global Justice: Norms and Limits

International Conference 
Global Justice: Norms and Limits

Bucharest, 10 – 12 May, 2012
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Bucharest

Worldwide suffering caused by large-scale famine as well as poverty, human rights violations, military interventions or environmental degradation have a global dimension, because those responsible are not only individuals, but also states and international institutions. Recently, what some have perceived as global injustices related to military interventions and economic exploitation seem to motivate terrorist and piracy attacks that cause indiscriminate suffering. Having gained an unprecedented urgency, the topic of global justice has received increasingly public and academic attention, and has lately become a central issue in moral and political philosophy. Our conference seeks to be a forum for discussing the most important theories of global justice, their central concepts and constraints.

Keynote and guest speakers include: Thomas Pogge (Yale), David Miller (Oxford), Hillel Steiner (Manchester), Véronique Zanetti (Bilefield), Sebastiano Maffettone (Roma), Paula Casal (Barcelona), Andreas Føllesdal (Oslo), and Lea Ypi (Oxford).

The conference will be held at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Bucharest. The conference is organized by the The Center for the Study of Rationality and Beliefs

Submission of papers

We welcome papers concerning any topic related to global justice.

Contributions are expected from researchers from different academic fields who are interested in the outlined topic or in closely related ones.

Students are also invited to submit papers for the conference, as we intend to organize a student panel.

Abstracts should be sent by e-mail as attachment at globaljustice@ub-filosofie.ro until the 30th of  January 2012. The deadline for submitting the full version of your paper is the 1st of  March 2012. Along with the abstract, please send us your contact details: current affiliation, address and telephone number.

The organizers cannot support any travel or accommodation costs.

 

Follow-up:

                                               
The organizers intend to publish a volume including papers from the conference. Acceptance of the paper for the conference does not guarantee the inclusion in the proceedings. We kindly remind you that by submitting the paper you implicitly agree to allow its publication in the conference proceedings.

For easier post-conference editorial work, it would be best if you would format your paper using Chicago style of reference, but this is not a formal condition for the publication.
