Call for Papers (in English)

32^nd Annual

Hume Society Conference

At the University of Toronto,
Toronto, Canada

"Hume and the French"

The conference theme includes such sub-themes as: Hume the Essayist, Hume in Paris, 18^th-century Philosophy and the “Auld Alliance,” Hume and Montaigne, Hume and Descartes, Hume and Malebranche, Hume and Montesquieu, Hume and Rousseau, Hume and the Philosophes, French Hume Scholarship

Plenary Speakers:

    Daniel Garber, Princeton University

    Don Garrett, New York University

    Michel Malherbe, Université de Nantes

    Martha C. Nussbaum, University of Chicago

Papers bearing some relation to the theme will be especially welcome; however, papers on any aspect of Hume’s life and works will be considered.

 Papers should be no more than thirty minutes reading length with self-references deleted for blind reviewing; the author’s name should appear only on a front cover sheet.  Papers may be submitted in French, Spanish, German, or English, but must include an English-language or French-language abstract.  We anticipate having one or more French-English bilingual sessions.  Authors are requested to submit papers and abstracts as e-mail attachments in MS Word or rich text format. 

The Hume Society has set aside up to $2000 for the support of graduate students reading papers at the annual Hume Society meeting, to be given at the discretion of the conference co-directors to those whose papers have been accepted through the normal vetting process.

 Submissions must be sent to secretary@humesociety.org or submitted on the Conference Paper Submission Page (conference website currently under construction) by November 1, 2004.
