The Kirchberg conferences have established themselves over the years
as the most important forum for exact or analytic philosophy in
Continental Europe. We intend to use the present occasion as an
opportunity to bring together those working on the borderlines of
philosophy and cognitive science from both sides of the Atlantic.
Kirchberg itself is a beautiful mountain village 70 miles south of
Vienna, in the centre of the area where Wittgenstein taught primary
school.
Call for papers:
Papers on any of the above topics are welcome. Two camera-ready
copies of a long abstract (6 pages) should be sent before March 30, 1992
to the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society, A-2880 Kirchberg am Wechsel,
Austria. Guidelines for the compilation of the abstract can be obtained
from the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society.
