The editors of Studies in the History of Ethics, a web-based, open access journal devoted to high quality scholarship in the history of philosophical ethics, announce calls for papers for two future symposia:
Ethics and Emotions in the History of Philosophy Philosophers 'rediscovered' the ethical significance of the emotions in the latter part of the twentieth century. Yet moral philosophers have taken the emotions as a central object of study since ancient times. This symposium will publish papers that illuminate the place that emotions have played in the history of moral philosophy. Papers on all eras and figures in the history of philosophy are welcome.
Submission deadline: July 10, 2008
Ethics in the American Philosophical Tradition It has now been four centuries since Europeans began to establish permanent settlements in the Americas, bringing with them their philosophical and ethical traditions. In the 400 years that have passed, has a distinctly American tradition in philosophical ethics emerged? If so, what are its defining features or concerns, and how does it relate to European ethical traditions? This symposium will publish papers on all aspects of the American philosophical tradition.
Submission deadline: December 15, 2008
