At GAP.11, there will be sections with peer-reviewed papers as usual, providing a comprehensive forum for all areas of analytic philosophy. A new feature will be the section “Fachpolitisches Forum”, for which contributions can be submitted on issues in the profession. GAP cordially invites all interested persons to submit suitable contributions to GAP.11:

• The submission period begins on December 1, 2021 and ends on January 31, 2022.
• Submissions will be made through ConfTool online system. You will need to register for it here.

Please note the following points:

• For submission, prepare a short abstract (200 words) and a longer summary (maximum 1,000 words) that outlines the central theses and arguments of your paper.
• The longer abstract must be anonymized, i.e. prepared for a blind review process. Please name the file according to the following pattern: section number_short title, e.g.: 5_Ground­ing bei Spinoza.pdf.
• The document of the short abstract must contain your name, e-mail address and affiliation (if applicable) in the header. Please name the file according to the following pattern: Section number_Your last name, for example: 5_Weissel.docx
• Acceptable file formats: Please submit the short abstract as a .doc or .docx file, and the longer abstract as a PDF.

Submissions for presentations may be in German or English. Presentations may be a maximum of 25 minutes in length. After that, 15 minutes are allowed for discussion, more for shorter presentations. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two persons. You will be informed about the decision by May 2022.

The GAP will issue a best paper award.

Papers can be submitted for the following sections (in parentheses the respective section chairs):

• Section 1: Applied Ethics (Felicitas Krämer)
• Section 2: Aesthetics (Reinold Schmücker)
• Sektion 3: Didactics of Philosophy (Kirsten Meyer)
• Sektion 4: Epistemology (Christoph Jäger)
• Section 5: History of Philosophy (Johannes Haag)
• Section 6: Logic (Karl-Georg Niebergall)
• Section 7: Metaethics, Philosophy of Action, Decision Theory (Thomas Schmidt)
• Section 8: Metaphilosophy (Joachim Horvath)
• Section 9: Metaphysics/Ontology (Vera Hoffmann-Kolss)
• Section 10: Normative Ethics (Tim Henning)
• Section 11: Philosophy of Mind and Cognition (Beate Krickel)
• Section 12: Philosophy of Language (Dolf Rami)
• Section 13: Philosophy of Religion (Winfried Löffler)
• Section 14: Philosophy of Science (Axel Gelfert)
• Section 15: Political Philosophy and Philosophy of Law (Gabriel Wollner)
• Section 16: Social Philosophy (Christine Bratu)
• Section 17: Fachpolitisches Forum/Issues in the Profession (Steering Committee)

The format of the section “Fachpolitisches Forum” is more open than that of the other sections; in addition to individual papers, group presentations or panel discussions are also possible. You can propose either a single presentation of your own or a pre-designed event.

You submit an individual presentation in the same way as a section presentation (section 17). If you are planning a complete forum or would like to apply as a group, please submit a one- to two-page description of the planned event, stating,

• what professional issue the event will focus on,
• what format is planned (individual presentations, group presentations, panel, etc.),
• which guests are planned.

The forums are in German, therefore the submissions should also be in German. The forums will be 1.5 hours long. Submissions for forums do not have to be anonymous. Please name the file according to the following pattern: Key­word_Your Last Name, e.g. Diversity_Weissel.docx.

Acceptance of proposals will be decided by the GAP.11 Steering Committee, and you will be notified of the decision by May 2022.

For any queries, please contact .

Following the GAP.11 Congress, there will again be so-called satellite workshops. The 16th and 17th of September are reserved for this. Satellite workshops can benefit in many ways from a connection to GAP.11 – vice versa, of course. If you would like to organize a satellite workshop following GAP.11, please send us your proposal via email to by December 15, 2021. The proposal should outline the topic and include information on duration and expected number of participants. The organizing committee will respond to your proposals expeditiously. Unfortunately, the GAP cannot provide funding.
