Papers will fall within the conference theme and must be relevant,

not broadly conceived, to the main conference topic

Nature and Intentionality: Philosophical and Scientific Perspectives.

The workshop will be attended by a multi–disciplinary group

of several scholars (scientists, philosophers, theologians, historians,

mathematicians, writers).

The aim of the workshop, in order to organize the broadest debate

around the main topic, is primarily to explore in depth and

discuss the positions illustrated by the circulated papers of Peter Hodgson,

Sir Anthony Kenny, Antonio Palmisano, Roberto Poli, Antonio Russo,

Jean-Louis Vieillard-Baron, Wilhelm Vossenkuhl.
