Call for Papers

The conference will address questions about the formation and persistence of social-institutional facts, with the goal to foster dialogue between analytic approaches, philosophical traditions such as phenomenology and critical theory, and empirical research in the social and cognitive sciences. Possible topics include but are not limited to: the nature of collective intentionality, the ontogenesis of the capacity for interaction; team reasoning and distributed cognition; collective decision-making; political power and social change; the role of language in the construction of social and institutional reality; the logical and normative structure of cooperation; the psychological and conceptual mechanisms underlying the emergence of social interaction and collective agency; the nature of duties and rights built into the logical status of institutions.

The European Network on Social Ontology was founded in 2007 with the goal to provide a platform for discussion and exchange of ideas, future research activities at European level and the organization of a biannual international conference. Attendance to the conference allows participants to join the International Network on Social Ontology (ISOS) and learn more about the Journal of Social Ontology (JSO) published by De Gruyter.
