We are glad to give notice of the 17th Biennial Meeting of the North American Fichte Society, Fichte and Social Thought: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives, which will take place on 11-13 June at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Deadline: November 15, 2025

Length: approx. 750 words

From the organiser’s website:

The conference will focus on the theme “Fichte and Social Thought,” broadly conceived. We encourage presenters to adopt both historical and contemporary perspectives on Fichte’s philosophy and/or to connect his thought to other historical and contemporary philosophers. Authors are encouraged to explore the historical use and contemporary retrieval of Fichte’s philosophy for social and political thought (e.g., socialism, nationalism, colonialism, decolonisation, feminism, or struggles for emancipation), inclusive of issues of race, gender, or class.  

Instructions: 

The official language of the conference will be English. Please submit a title and an abstract (approx. 750 words) of the paper’s contents to Gabe Gottlieb (Xavier University) fichtesociety@gmail.com no later than November 15, 2025. Conference papers should have a maximum reading time of 30 minutes. As in the past, we intend to publish a volume of selected papers from the conference. Please note that no funds will be available from the conference organisers to support either travel costs or living expenses of the participants. However, an official “letter of invitation” for the purposes of obtaining travel support from one’s own institution, can easily be arranged.
