2007 sees the 30th anniversay of publication of John Mackie's "Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong". To mark the occasion, ETMP is devoting a special issue of the journal in 2007 to consider aspects of this work and its influence, paying particular attention to Mackie's moral error theory. Here are some suggested possible topics, but authors should feel free to write on any topics that concern error theory and Mackie's "Ethics": - What is the structure of Mackie's error theory? Are there other arguments for moral error theory that are more cogent than Mackie's? - How plausible is Mackie's opening claim that "first order" and "second order" moral views are "completely independent" of each other? - What does Mackie mean when he claims that his thesis that "there are no objective values is specifically the denial that any ... categorically imperative element is objectively valid" (p. 29)? - How powerful are Mackie's Argument from Relativity and Argument from Queerness? - Is Mackie's defence of Hume's Law plausible? Does it in any way affect his moral scepticism? - How are we to understand the relation between the sceptical view Mackie endorses in Chapter 1 and the apparent moralising in which he engages in the rest of the book? - If one endoreses a moral error theory, to what extent is the elimination of moral language (as least as it appears in the making of unembedded atomic claims) called for? What would the practical costs of such a moral eliminativism be? - Are Mackie's moves in ch. 4 between the various stages of universalization justified? Deadline for Submissions: Monday 25th September 2006. Please make clear at the top of your work that you wish your paper to be considered for the special issue.

Recent decades have seen philosophers devote considerable attention to depiction, that form ofrepresentation characteristic of figurative paintings, drawings and photographs. Despite thisattention, there is as yet little agreement about what depiction involves. This conference aims tohelp remedy this situation by bringing together philosophers working in this area to discuss topicscentral to an adequate philosophical understanding of depiction. Such topics include: the natureand scope of depiction; its cognitive and aesthetic value; the relations between depiction andother forms of representation; the phenomenology of picture experience; the process of pictureproduction; and the mechanics of picture interpretation. Invited speakers: Robert Hopkins, The University of Sheffield John Hyman, Oxford University Dominic Lopes, The University of British Columbia John Kulvicki, Dartmouth College In addition, the conference organisers will accept a limited number of submitted papers. Thesepapers should be philosophical in content, address one or more of the topics identified above, beformatted for blind refereeing, and be no more than 5000 words long. The deadline forsubmission of papers is the 31st December 2006. Decisions to accept or reject papers will bemade by the end of February, 2007. Papers should be sent to: Catharine.Abell@manchester.ac.uk

Postgraduate Papers Due 1st February 2007 (see below) OPEN SESSIONS A number of parallel sessions on Saturday and Sunday afternoons will be available for the presentation of papers not previously published. There will be a considerable number of these sessions available, allowing room for many submissions to be included. The intention is to accommodate all philosophical material suitable for presentation to a professional audience, so far as time and space in the programme allow, and not to operate a selective policy. Each presentation should last no more than 20 minutes, so that a further 10-15 minutes may be allowed for discussion. Presented papers should aim to introduce material involving recent research. There are no restrictions on the areas of philosophy which papers may address. Philosophers whose papers are included in this part of the programme must be or become subscribing members of one of the organising societies. Those wishing to make a presentation should submit by e-mail attachment a copy of their paper (no more than 2000 words), together with a 250-word abstract, to Anthony Everett (anthony.everett@bristol.ac.uk) by 1st March 2007. Decisions on whether papers have been accepted will be made by the end of April 2007. Papers accepted for the Open Sessions will not be published in the Supplementary Volume of the Aristotelian Society (unlike papers invited for the plenary programme of the conference); and expenses will not be paid. POSTGRADUATE SESSIONS Two parallel sessions on the Saturday afternoon will be devoted to short presentations by graduate students (or those who have recently obtained a postgraduate degree). Each student should speak for 20 minutes, allowing 10 minutes for discussion. Students wishing to participate should send their paper, preferably by attachment in Word 98 or higher, otherwise in two hard copies, by 1st February 2007 to: The Executive Secretary, The Aristotelian Society, Room 281, Stewart House, Russell Square, London WC1B 5DN. Email: mail@aristoteliansociety.org.uk. The paper should be about 2000 words but no more than 2500 words, including notes and bibliography, and should begin with a brief abstract. It should be typewritten in 12-point text, single-spaced throughout (i.e. including references and quotations), on one side of white A4 paper. All pages should be numbered and have margins of 1 inch or more. Papers containing symbols liable to distortion in transmission should be submitted as hard copies; otherwise electronic copy is welcome. Please ensure that there are no self-identifying references in the text. Submissions should be accompanied by a separate page containing the title of the paper, the name of the author, institution and status, and email and postal addresses. Authors are advised to consult supervisors about what may be suitable for presentation to a largely professional audience. Given the tight word-limit, they are advised to give as much space as they can to the statement of their own ideas. The papers will be sent to referees, and a maximum of eight will be selected for presentation at the Joint Session. The programme will be settled in May 2007. The selected authors will have their conference fee and accommodation expenses (but not their travel costs) paid by the Mind Association and the Aristotelian Society. Some papers may subsequently be considered for publication in the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society. Nobody should submit a paper for both the Postgraduate and the Open Sessions, and only one paper may be submitted per individual. However, graduate students whose submission for the Postgraduate Sessions is unsuccessful may subsequently be advised that their paper has been accepted for the Open Sessions. Conference costs will not be paid by the organisers.
