Those submitting a proposal should provide the following:
- A working definition of American philosophy that will guide the research.
- Additional questions to be pursued or restatements of the suggested questions.

It is expected that the faculty member will serve as the supervisor for the research.

150th Year Commemoration of the Founding of St. Louis Hegelians
In St. Louis
April 11-12, 2008
Conference Hosted by Webster University
Topics Especially Welcome:
St. Louis Hegelians, Idealism, 19th Century
American Philosophy, Early Pragmatism
Abstract Deadline: November 15, 2007
Notification of Acceptance: December 30, 2007
The St. Louis Hegelians are one of the most important movements in American cultural history. Founded in the 19th century by an eclectic set of St. Louis school teachers and amateur philosophers, this group helped bring German philosophy (especially the philosophy of Hegel) to the American continent. By adding their own unique American twist to this philosophy, the group is also responsible for taking the first major steps toward producing America's wholly distinct philosophical tradition of Pragmatism.

Second Call for Papers: Aesthetics, Politics and the American Experience
A proposed anthology of essays to be edited by Kevin S. Decker and Terrance MacMullan, both of the Philosophy Program at Eastern Washington University. Publishers to be approached may include:
Southern Illinois University Press, Indiana University Press, SUNY Press or Open Court Publishers. Publication likely in 2008/09.
Kant's 1790 Critique of Judgment and Schiller's 1794 On the Aesthetic Education of Man inaugurated a significant European tradition of considering political and moral arrangements through the lens of aesthetic categories. Representatives of this diverse tradition include Nietzsche, Heidegger, Benjamin, Adorno, and many important postmodern thinkers. Is there a tradition of 'aesthetic politics' in America as well, a tradition that understands individual and communal self-creation through democratic and pluralistic ideals? Is there an art to politics?
Those interested should mail an abstract of 500 words by March 1st, 2007 to:
