Feminist Philosophy - Language, Knowledge and Politics

Each year, the International Wittgenstein Symposium (IWS) in Kirchberg am Wechsel (Austria) is devoted to a different theme, seeking to bring Wittgenstein scholars together with researchers working in other areas of philosophy. The theme of the IWS in 2025 is “Feminist Philosophy – Language, Knowledge, and Politics”, featuring the sections: 1. Wittgenstein; 2. Feminist Philosophy of Language; 3. Moral, Legal, and Political Feminisms; 4. Feminist Epistemology, Philosophy of Science and Technology; 5. Intersectional Perspectives and Queer Theory; 6. Women in Early Analytic Philosophy.
While submissions to the section dedicated to Wittgenstein (section 1) do not have to address the conference theme, submissions to sections 2-6 do not have to relate to Wittgenstein. Papers on the intersection between Wittgenstein and Feminist Philosophy are also welcome. In addition to the six sections, the conference will feature a workshop on “Feminist Philosophy of Migration”, organised by Rebecca Buxton and Dainel Sharp. 

We invite submissions for both conference and workshop papers.

Deadline for paper submissions (to section 1-6 and workshop): March 2nd, 2025
Final date for registration: July 16th, 2025
