The central theme of the philosophy section at this year's National Faculty Leadership Conference will be how Christians can best participate in the current renaissance of metaphysics (including ontology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of time, and causation) and what distinctive contribution we can make to the future of the discipline. However, we will also accept papers of high quality in other branches of philosophy, including ethics, epistemology and the history of philosophy.
