Conference to take place Saturday, April 22, 2017 at Felician University’s Rutherford campus (227 Montross Ave., Rutherford, New Jersey 07070). Papers due February 1, 2017. Plenary speaker is Michele Moody-Adams, of Columbia University, speaking on hate speech: “Taking Expression Seriously: Liberty, Equality, and Expressive Harm.”

Past participant endorsements from the Conference’s Fake News Division:

John Rawls: “An extremely exciting conference. Added some spice to my prose style for weeks.”

Robert Nozick: “Best conference I’ve ever attended–whether I was high or sober.”

Bernard Williams: “It seriously rocked my world. I left even more of an amoral skeptic than when I came.”

Judith Jarvis Thomson: “The cutting edge of analytic rigor. Encountered some truly psychedelic thought-experimentation there.”

Alasdair MacIntyre: “A genuine contribution to the common good.”

Annette Baier: “Probably the most feminist-friendly conference in the business.”

Charles Mills: “Minority friendly, too.”

Kevin Vallier: “Orthodox Christians are welcome as well!”

Jonathan Haidt: “Really happy to hear my name coming up every five minutes…”

Jason Brennan: “My God, do these Felician people know their way around the social science literature. Not just a bunch of flat-footed philosophers, as per the usual philosophy conference. And some of these guys have spent more time working in corporate America than I have!”

Donald J. Trump: “Very unfair.”
