We are pleased to invite submissions for the conferenceThe Syntax and Se
mantics of Formalisations in Philosophy, to be held at LMU Munich on 27-28

and philosophical inquiry, focusing on the challenges,debates, and impli
cations of formalising philosophical concepts.

The conference will feature four keynote talks and eight contributed presen
tationsmainlyacross three main topics:

1. The Feasibility and Challenges of Formalising Philosophy:This theme e
xamines the adequacy of formal methods in capturing the nuances of philosop
hical ideas, identifying common challenges such as potential oversimplifica
tion and loss of depth, and exploring the relationships between terms and c
oncepts within formal systems.

2. Pros and Cons of Using Formalisations in Philosophy:This topic addres
ses the ongoing discussion regarding the value of formal methods in philoso
phy, highlighting their benefits, including enhanced precision and clarity,
 alongside the limitations imposed by formal systems, such as the risk of d
iminishing the richness of philosophical discourse.

3. Conceptual Pluralism and Choosing the Right Formalisation:This theme 
recognises the diversity of formal methods and evaluates the criteria for s
electing the most appropriate approaches for philosophical inquiry, conside
ring the intended applications and goals of formalisation.
