The conference invites contributions in English or German and will bring together historical and systematic approaches to the philosophy of science and the ethics of science in relation to Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy.
We welcome submissions on topics including, but not limited to, Schopenhauer’s philosophy of science, scientific explanation and causality, the classification of the sciences, the ethics of scientific practice, responsibility and compassion in science, Schopenhauer’s reception in the special sciences, animal ethics, environmental ethics, and sustainability. Contributions that combine historical scholarship with systematic analysis are especially welcome, though purely historical papers are also very welcome.
Please send an abstract of approximately 300–500 words for a 30-minute presentation to:
jenslemanski+cfp26@uni-muenster.de

POBAM is a philosophy of biology workshop that began at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 2010 and moved to the University of Utah in 2018. As of 2026, it will be back in Madison! At its core, POBAM aims to showcase innovative work in philosophy of biology and to identify new areas that philosophers of biology might work on. Workshops are structured to provide constructive feedback, training with peers and for junior scholars, and opportunity for informal and friendly discussions, while encouraging work bridging philosophy, biology, and other cognate fields. Keynote speakers include Yasmin Haddad (Université du Québec à Montréal), Rose Novick (University of Washington) and Anne Pringle (UW Madison, Botany).
