Call for Papers (tentative)
International research project to mark the 200th anniversary of The World as Will and Representation: The New Century of Schopenhauer

This research project is financially supported by the Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS, No. 17H02281) and is calling for papers focussing on the second international Conference "The World as Will and Representation Re–read ― the whole conception, the central themes and <Schopenhauer and the Orient>" between 19 and 22 February 2019 hosted by the Ryukoku University (Omiya campus) in Kyoto/Japan. The project team works closely together with the Japan Schopenhauer Association. Further, two international conferences (with calls for papers) will be held in October 2019 by the Goethe University in Frankfurt/Germany, and in Japan in February 2020 by the Nihon University in Tokyo/Japan.
(For the program of the first conference in February 2018, please see the following website: http://schopenhauer.org/wwv200/)
