CFP: 2025 Online Symposium of the Network of Asian Environmental Philosophy
Environmental philosophy explores the ways we, humans, think about, value and relate to nature, other species, mountains and rivers, and so on. The limits of life often correspond to fascinating fringes in environmental philosophy, such as the blurry borders between life and non-life, which sometimes encompasses dimensions of regeneration, purification or cleansing, toxicity, and rebirth. Questioning these fringes, from voices from stones to conversations with rivers emerged as key themes from discussions during previous NAEP symposiums and NAEP reading group on animism. This NAEP symposium 2025 opens a space to further develop these exchanges with the theme of Life as Regeneration and Flourishing.
The NAEP 2025 Online Symposium welcomes contributions from scholars, practitioners and stakeholders on a broad range of aspects within Asian worldviews, including but not limited to:
- Ecological trauma, healing, regeneration, place-making after environmental destruction
- Philosophical dimensions of grassroots and justice initiatives on ecological remedies and restoration
- Artistic expressions (narratives, artforms, storytelling, memory landscape…) related to life and expressions of life in Asian cultures
- Spiritual & religious beliefs connected to life, regeneration, rebirth, purification, toxicity
- Ecofeminism views on birth, parenthood, caring and rebirth in connection with nature
- Grassroot perspectives and environmental practices related to life as regeneration
- Ethical and educational dimensions of our relationship with life and the natural world
- Early- and mid-career scholars are especially encouraged to send proposals.

This year’s gathering focuses on how these traditions both classical and contemporary can contribute to our understanding of progress in practical philosophy.

CFP: Weaving Together: Comparative Approaches to Process Philosophy
The ISCP (International Society for Chinese Philosophy) invites proposals for an edited volume that explores the history, influence, and contemporary practice of process philosophy as a framework for comparative philosophy. This volume, Weaving Together: Comparative Approaches to Process Philosophy, aims to illuminate how process thought can serve as subject, method, or application in engaging philosophical traditions across cultures. While the primary focus is on the process tradition developed by Alfred North Whitehead and his intellectual heirs, contributions that engage other process-oriented figures and traditions are also encouraged. These may include figures such as G.W.F. Hegel, Henri Bergson, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Gilles Deleuze, as well as philosophical currents from Indian, Daoist, Confucian, Buddhist, and Indigenous thought. Proposals that employ process philosophy as a methodological or conceptual tool in comparative contexts, or that highlight how process thought contributes to broader conversations across metaphysical, ethical, aesthetic, and socio-political domains are especially welcomed.
Please read more for more details of the volume and the submission guidelines.

CFP: Teaching Intercultural Philosophy, Cordoba (June 2025)
In the current climate of increasing provincialism and geopolitical division, the need to decenter and deprovincialize philosophical education is vital. Engaging with multiple traditions can illuminate new pathways of thought and reveal overlooked perspectives. Expanding the traditions valued for study is central to the vocation of intercultural, comparative, and global philosophy, while remaining committed to intellectual honesty, universally shared values as well as the pursuit of truth and practical wisdom.
The task of integrating philosophical reflections on diverse ideas that have emerged in, among other regions, Africa, China, India, Japan and Latin America, together with the Western tradition in secondary and tertiary education, is largely left to individual initiatives and instructors. This conference aims to assess the progress made in integrating these approaches within philosophical education. The teaching Intercultural Philosophy Universidad Loyola invites participants to explore different methods, synergies, and common challenges in teaching intercultural philosophy.

CFP: Workshop on Revenge at KU Leuven
Revenge can clearly be used to criticize power structures and renegotiate accepted norms but is similarly governed by its own set of rules. But how do such opposites—rules and the unruly, entertainment and brutality, ritual and defiance of norms—go together and relate to one another within the act of revenge? And how might the tension between such opposites be dissolved? How did revenge become such an influential cultural trope in China? What is revenge used for in all these different contexts? And how did it change over the long history from early China to the present day?
The Repay Resentment with Straightforwardness? Exploring Revenge in the Chinese Context workshop seeks to study revenge in all fields of the Chinese socio-cultural realm to uncover its many facets and the relations between them. Therefore, participants are invited to explore the topic of revenge from various angles and with creative approaches, in hope to cover methodologies from diverse fields, including but not limited to: Anthropology, sociology, literature studies, philosophy, theater studies, history, political sciences, archaeology,
criminology etc. Presentation of both case studies as well as wider theoretical reflections on the nature of revenge in China are welcomed.
Please read more for further information of the workshop.
