The 2025 LanCog Summer Metaphysics Workshop
The 2025 LanCog Summer Metaphysics Workshop will be an intensive, three day workshop on metaphysics, very broadly construed, and will feature leading scholars from around the world. Attendance is open to all who are interested, but anyone who is planning to attend should register for the workshop through the link below, so that the organizers can make sure there is enough coffee.
