Call for Abstracts: Croatia Libori Summer School 2023

Women Philosophers and Scientists on Psychology, Mind and Body Awareness

We are happy to announce the 2nd  Croatia Libori Summer School from 19th to 22nd of June 2023 in Zagreb

The Libori Summer School is co-organized by the Institute for Philosophy Zagreb and the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists, Paderborn University.

The Call for Abstracts is now open:

Long before the advent of psychology proper, psychologic issues were essential concerns of women philosophers. Beginning with authors of the 17th century, this summer school will retrace the development of ideas concerning mind, emotions, introspection, psychic causality, moral principles of psychology, identity, and the awareness and description of the body. Culminating in the early 20th century, we will address and discuss perspectives that preserve the philosophical heritage of psychology vis-à-vis the development of clinical psychology and physiology. Since Descartes, the importance of the continued effort to connect questions about body and mind remains as a central philosophical concern. We are inviting contributions dealing with women thinkers in the context of the history of psychology, psychological philosophy, theory of emotions and values, and ethical questions related to psychology ranging from 17th to early 20th century.
