會議資訊:

Supported by the generous donation of the Frontward Foundation, the Taiwan Metaphysics Colloquium series (TMCs) is one of the most renowned international philosophy conference series in Taiwan. Held biennially, it aims to provide a platform for dialogue among researchers working on a wide range of contemporary metaphysical issues. In previous years, the conferences under the series have invited many renowned local and international scholars, including David Charles, Max J. Cresswell, Dorothy Edgington, Pascal Engel, Hartry Field, Robert Goldblatt, Alan Hayek, Jennifer Hornsby, Christian List, Hiroakira Ono, David Papineau, and Daniel Stoljar. Following the conference series, multiple international anthologies have been published, including a Logic in Asia (LIAA) book series (Springer) and a special issue of Synthese.

This year’s conference is themed “Naturalistic Philosophy and Grounding” and welcomes contributions related to naturalistic philosophy, grounding, or both. The idea of doing philosophy naturalistically in a natural world has dominated a significant portion of twentieth-century philosophy. Nonetheless, this idea has recently often been treated as an implicit background framework, while (arguably) non-naturalistic approaches and perspectives – such as anti-realism, panpsychism, idealism, phenomenology, and others – have experienced a renaissance. This conference aims to provide an opportunity to reinvestigate philosophical naturalism and naturalistic philosophy, especially (though not exclusively) issues related to physicalism, scientism, naturalizing philosophical approaches, natural entities, the grounding structures of our world, and even new conceptual expansions of the naturalistic worldview, such as artificial intelligence.
