The BEYOND LANGUAGE 2026 Conference

Submitted on

07.03.2026

The Philosophy Section of Beyond Language 2026 invites contributions that examine the legacy of the linguistic turn and explore contemporary philosophical approaches that move beyond strictly language-centered paradigms. While the conference is interdisciplinary, this section is particularly oriented toward work in analytic philosophy and related traditions.
We welcome papers in epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and social or political philosophy that address questions concerning meaning, normativity, justification, and the social character of knowledge. Contributions engaging with pragmatism, inferentialism, contemporary debates on conceptual practices, as well as discussions of the limits of linguistic frameworks in philosophical analysis are especially encouraged.
The aim of this section is to foster rigorous philosophical discussion on the role of language in philosophical inquiry and on possible directions for philosophical thought after the linguistic turn, bringing together scholars working within analytic and post-analytic perspectives.
