• Dr. Bret Davis (Loyola University)

This conference inquires into the importance of the Kyoto School for our world today. To this end, we welcome abstracts for proposed papers that focus on the possible avenues of thought offered by the thinkers who belong to the Japanese tradition of the Kyoto School widely understood. Papers may focus on any thinker or thinkers in this tradition and on any aspect of their work. What is more, given the dialogical character of the Kyoto School itself, papers can continue this dialogical approach. In all cases, however, papers should be mining this tradition of thought and making the case for its contemporary importance.

Abstracts of no more that 250 words should be sent to: Stephen Lofts (slofts@uwo.ca) by the
new deadline of January 10, 2019.

For further information or queries, please contact Stephen Lofts (slofts@uwo.ca) and/or Antonio
