The conference, which is to take place at Cardiff University September 20-21 2010, is in celebration of the outstanding work of eminent Nietzsche scholar Professor Richard Schacht. The topic of “Nietzsche and Naturalism” has been a key feature of Richard Schacht’s work for many years and has now become a central concern for anyone with a serious interest in Nietzsche interpretation. Professor Schacht would like the conference to serve as a forum for critically addressing various naturalistic interpretations of Nietzsche’s thought.
Papers should be of approximately 25 minutes duration. The deadline for the first round of the call for papers is 25 June 2010. Please submit a title and brief abstract of no more than 300 words by email to Peter R. Sedgwick (Dr. Peter R.
