Convenor's Letter,
October 6, 2006
I am pleased to announce that 37th Annual
Meeting of the Husserl Circle will take place in Prague, from Monday, 22nd
through Saturday, 28th April 2007.
Should you wish to participate in the meeting by delivering a paper, the
deadline for submissions is January 1, 2007. Papers should have a
reading time of no more than 30 minutes (3000 words). Anyone wishing to
submit a paper should send it (or a substantial abstract) directly to me
(either by email attachment, airmail or fax) so that it is received by the
deadline. Happily, the number of submitted papers has been growing with each
meeting, but that also means that decisions may have to be made about which
papers to include. Decisions will be announced by February 1, 2007.
As you probably know, the meeting is held in Prague to commemorate the 100th
anniversary of the birth, and the 30th anniversary of the death, of the
Czech philosopher Jan Patočka (June 1, 1907 – March 13, 1977). Parallel with
the meeting of Husserl Circle, there will be an international conference the
aim of which is to see to what extent the philosophical thinking of Jan
Patočka is still alive and to gauge the scope of its influence on
contemporary philosophy. Scholars who are interested in Patočka and
acquainted with his work have been invited to come to Prague and present
their views on the importance of his philosophy.
The whole event is being jointly organised by the Center for Theoretical
Study and the Center for Phenomenological Research (both at Charles
University and the Institute for Philosophy of the Academy of Sciences of
the Czech Republic), the Husserl Circle, the Institute for Human Sciences in
Vienna (IWM), and the Husserl Archive at the Ecole Normale Superieur in
Paris. It will be held under the auspices of Prof. MUDr. Vaclav Hampl, C.Sc.,
Rector of Charles University and Prof. RNDr. Vaclav Paces, Dr.Sc., President
of Czech Academy of Sciences.
The event shall consist of two parallel sections. One will be devoted
exclusively to the work of Jan Patočka, with lectures held in English,
French, or German. The other section will be the regular Annual Meeting of
the Husserl Circle. Colleagues can freely switch between sections according
to their concrete interest, as the lectures will be held in adjacent rooms
in Carolinum, the main building of Charles University (http://www.cuni.cz/),
in the center of Old Town of Prague.
The logistic details concerning lodging and traveling shall be handled by a
separate letter.
I look forward to seeing you in Prague in April 2007.
Sincerely,
Ivan Chvatík, Convenor
