Call for Abstracts of Papers: Timothy Williamson Encountering Chinese Philosophy

School of Philosophy, Fudan University, will host a conference on “Timothy Williamson Encountering Chinese Philosophy” on November 6-7, 2026. This is the 4th event in the conference/book series of “Fudan Studies of Encountering Chinese Philosophy”, following the ones focused on Michael Slote, Ernest Sosa, and Simon Blackburn respectively. This one is focused on the work of Timothy Williamson. Following the previous practice in the series, there will be a dozen or so scholars of Chinese philosophy critically engaging various aspects of Williamson’s philosophy by drawing on various aspects of Chinese philosophy, to which Williamson makes responses. Revised versions of these critical comments and responses will be collected into an edited volume, with the same title of the conference, in the series mentioned above.

This call for paper is addressed to scholars of Chinese philosophy who are interested in Williamson’s work. As the first step, we call for expressions of interests and abstracts of papers. The deadline is March 15, and we will announce the result by the end of March. We will provide airfare and room and board in the duration of the conference for all participants at the conference.

Please send your expressions of interests/abstracts of papers to: yonghuang@fudan.edu.cn
