Persons Conference

We invite abstracts on any topic concerning philosophical discussion of some aspect of personhood. Examples include what it is to be a person, either moral or metaphysical, whether we are essentially persons, what duties are owed to persons because of their personhood, why personhood is valuable, whether any non-humans or fetuses achieve personhood, and the value of the lives of human non-persons. Preference will be given to discussions in the analytic tradition. Keynote speaker: Marya Schechtman (University of Illinois at Chicago)
