ABOUT the NTPA
History
The North Texas Philosophical Association is renowned for its decades-long commitment to philosophical scholarship and education. Our annual spring conference attracts regional, national and international participants, from graduate students to emerging and well-established professionals. Previous Keynote Speakers include Simon Critchley, John Caputo, John Sallis, Sandra Harding, Alfonso Lingis, Mariana Ortega, Babette Babich, Steven Crowell, Keith Ansell-Pearson, Chaone Mallory, and Santiago Zabala.
The NTPA welcomes submissions from all philosophical orientations, including (but not limited to) the history of philosophy (ancient, medieval, modern, late modern), phenomenology, philosophical hermeneutics, environmental philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy of religion, critical race theory, feminist philosophy, aesthetics, post-colonialism, and post-structuralism. We especially encourage submissions from historically overlooked or marginalized perspectives.
An open call for papers is distributed every fall.
