MISSION STATEMENT
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: Nietzsche studies has entered its philosophical and scholarly maturity over the last generation. Philosophically informed engagement with Nietzsche's contributions in value theory, philosophy of mind and action, epistemology and other fields is now commonplace in the secondary literature, while scholarly attention to Nietzsche's historical and intellectual context is recognized as essential for serious work. Founded in 2015, the International Society for Nietzsche Studies seeks to advance philosophical scholarship on Nietzsche by hosting annual workshops for presenters and invited discussants, thereby providing a forum for senior and junior scholars to present their work and discuss it with other philosophers in an intimate environment. Papers from the annual workshop will presumptively be published in a special issue of the journal Inquiry each year.
ACTIVITIES: ISNS will host an annual workshop typically featuring two or three invited speakers and two or three papers selected via blind review by the Executive Committee from among those submitted to an annual Call for Papers. Workshop attendance and participation will be by invitation, to facilitate small group discussion. Anyone, whether an invited participant or not, may submit in response to the Call for Papers. Papers will be circulated to participants in advance of presentation, and speakers will have a half hour for presentation, with the remainder of each two-hour session devoted to discussion.
Venues will rotate, initially among institutions represented on the Executive Committee. Speakers and invited participants will generally be responsible for their lodging and travel costs, but we will make every effort to provide assistance with these costs to graduate students or faculty without tenure-stream positions whose papers are accepted for presentation. The hosting institution will provide presentation venues and some level of catering (such as meals) during the conference, and will provide logistical and travel information to speakers and participants and will attempt to arrange for discounted rates at local hotels.
