Upcoming Conference

AMINTAPHIL 2027 Conference
Judgment and Authority in the Age of AI and Social Media
August 27–28, 2027Madison, Wisconsin
The next AMINTAPHIL conference will take place August 27–28, 2027, in Madison, Wisconsin, on the theme of Judgment and Authority in the Age of AI and Social Media.
  • Principal paper deadline: to be announced.
  • Comment paper deadline: to be announced.
  • Submission instructions for the 2027 conference will be announced.
AMINTAPHIL is an interdisciplinary society of philosophers, legal theorists, political scientists, and economists who are interested in normative questions about justice, society, the economy, and democracy.
  • Attendees are expected to read the papers prior to the conference. The Program Committee will group papers on related themes into distinct sessions for the conference, and all sessions are plenary (i.e., there are no breakouts).
  • This conference format lends itself to gaining deep, multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary perspectives on the chosen topic, and engaging in rich dialogue with other attendees. All on-topic submitted papers are included in the conference, and selected papers are published in a subsequent, peer reviewed volume of essays by Springer.
  • It is affiliated with the International Association for the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (IVR), which meets biannually in years opposite to AMINTPHIL meetings. All members of AMINTAPHIL gain membership in IVR.
  • AMINTAPHIL members are eligible to submit papers. (Membership information is online at https://amintaphil.org/.) All members of AMINTAPHIL will be notified when principal papers are available for download.
Papers unrelated to the conference theme will be considered. Proposals or abstracts for such papers, however, will need to be submitted for approval. Please send them to Win-chiat Lee (leew@wfu.edu).
