We seek innovative contributions from specialists in Austrian philosophy, Austrian economics, or Austrian psychology. Suggested categories for papers are:
* The Austrian tradition of psychology and philosophy of mind (e.g., Brentano, intentionality, idea, feeling, and desire, Gestalt, experimental psychology, apriorism, inner consciousness, Hayek’s theory of memory and the emergence of mind) and their influence in later developments in philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience
* Social objects (e.g., law, music, literary works of art, fiction, value, Reinach, Meinong, Menger, Hayek)
* Edith Stein and her description of empathy, and corroborating findings in science, including research in neuroethics and neurophenomenology
* Phenomenology (e.g., Husserl, mereology, intersubjectivity, constitution, the Göttingen Circle)
* Aesthetics (e.g., Musil, Kafka, Ingarden)
* Polish philosophy and the Lvov-Warsaw School (e.g., Twardowski and his students, semantics and truth)
* The social ontology of the Austrian School of economics (e.g., Menger, Hayek, apriorism, spontaneous orders)
* Relations between the Brentano School (or the Austrian School of economics) and the Vienna Circle
* Relations between the Brentano School (or the Austrian School of economics) and Wittgenstein
* Relations between the Brentano School (or the Austrian School of economics) and Freud
The conference will take place November 1-3, 2012 at the University of Texas at Arlington. Details about abstract submission are in the conference web site: http://www.uta.edu/philosophy/ATC.html
