About the Event
The Society for Applied Philosophy
(UK) was established in 1980 and held its first one-day conference in
1981. To mark its 25th anniversary the Society is holding an international
conference in the summer of 2005.
The origins of applied philosophy
can be traced back as far as Plato and Aristotle. The express identification
of 'applied philosophy' was intended to promote the distinctive role
of philosophical thinking in the examination and discussion of matters
of practical consequence and public policy. The Society for Applied
Philosophy (UK) has played a key part in its subsequent advancement,
through workshops and conferences, and especially the Journal of
Applied Philosophy, now an established and acknowledged source
of high quality work in the area.
The SAP has decided to devote its
annual conference for 2005 to an international retrospective on applied
philosophy. The aim is to address the problems facing the subject as
these have emerged over the last three decades, and to identify its
most promising prospects for the next three. Four keynote lectures from
leading figures will address this general theme. In addition, there
will be a "Graduate Keynote" in which a postgraduate student
will deliver the paper that has won the Applied
Philosophy Postgraduate Prize Competition 2005.
As well as the keynotes, there
will be 7 concurrent sub-sessions comprising 5 papers per session, covering
all the major topics in applied philosophy.
