The Working Group "Philosophy of Physics" (AG Phil) of the German Physical
Society (DPG) invites submissions for its Annual Meeting, which will take
place at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin from March 19 to 21, 2014. Other
sections of the DPG, e.g. on gravitation, quantum optics, or mathematical
foundations of physics, will also convene in Berlin
(http://berlin14.dpg-tagungen.de/index.html?lang=en&)
As part of the AG Phil meeting, there will be a colloquium on "The
Quantum-Classical Divide". Confirmed speakers so far are Alisa Bokulich
(Boston), Klaas Landsman (Nijmegen), Tim Maudlin (New York), Wayne Myrvold
(Western Ontario), Antigone Nounou (Athens), and Jos Uffink (Minneapolis).
Although submissions on any topic in the philosophy of physics are possible,
contributions addressing the quantum-classical divide are especially
welcome. If you would like to present a paper, please submit an abstract of
about 200 words by January 6, 2014, using the online-form on
http://berlin14.dpg-tagungen.de/anmeldung/abstract.html?lang=en
(please ignore submission deadline given on this page)
We look forward to seeing you in Berlin!
Best regards,
Meinard Kuhlmann, Dennis Lehmkuhl, and Wolfgang Pietsch
