Xphi Europe 2021 Prague
Online/hybrid event
1st European Experimental Philosophy Conference
Charles University, Prague, Czechia, 17–19 June 2021
Submission deadline: 14 March 2021
Notification of acceptance: 2 April 2021
Experimental philosophy groups active all around Europe have agreed to join forces and establish a model of one big annual European experimental philosophy event. Last year we had to go online and move the first official event to 2021. Faculty of Science of Charles University, the Karel Čapek Center fo Values in Science and Technology, and the University of Zurich are proud to host the 1st Xphi Europe in June 2021 in Prague.
We hope that we will be able to welcome as many speakers as possible in Prague in person. We consider this event an excellent opportunity for the exchange of ideas and networking – especially so over coffee or dinner. However, due to the unpredictable development of the pandemic, we are happy to offer the possibility of online presentations. We will contact all researchers whose abstract got accepted for presentation at the beginning of April and ask whether they intend to give their presentation (or poster) in person or digitally.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
We warmly invite suggestions for talks and poster to be presented either online or in person. Each talk will last 30 to 35 minutes and speakers should allow 10 to 15 minutes of this time for questions.
Please prepare an abstract of no more than 500 words for anonymous review. The abstract should clearly specify the research question, which methods have been used, and which the results. Please add 4 to 6 keywords that best describe your research project. All contributions will be considered for both a talk and a poster presentation. If you wish to be considered for only one of these options, make a respective comment below your abstract. Please only submit pdf files. Each researcher can be involved in no more than three abstracts. Please submit your abstract to EasyChair: ………………….
Submissions can address any topic in experimental philosophy, including but not limited to Xphi of metaphysics, language, mind, morality, aesthetics, and philosophy of law. As always, we wish to cover a large variety of experimental topics. We also encourage the submission of abstracts which take a critical stance on experimental philosophy or which develop or discuss new empirical methods. In order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the introduction of the word “robot” by the Czech writer Karel Čapek, we also welcome papers on the topic of moral intuitions about future technologies, such as robots and artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, human enhancement, etc.
We strongly encourage young researchers, including master students and PhD students to submit their work.
Chairmen of the local organisers: Robin Kopecký and Michaela Jirout Košová (Prague)
