   28TH CONFERENCE ON VALUE INQUIRY
   April 13-15, 2000

   Lamar University
   Beaumont, TX 77710

   Plenary Speakers:

      Julius Moravcsik, Stanford University
      George Sher, Rice University

The theme of the 28th Conference on Value Inquiry is "Values in an Age of
Globalization."  Areas of investigation for the conference include, but are
not limited to:  Social, Moral, Political, Economic, Environmental, and
Aesthetic Values, the Teaching of Values, and the Resolution of Conflict
between Competing Values and between Theory and Practice.  Of particular
interest are papers that discuss issues and conflicts of values that have
arisen as a result of the social, political, economic, scientific, and
technological developments involved with globalization.

Papers may be practically or theoretically oriented. Topics may be
disciplinary and focus on questions within a single field of value inquiry.
Topics may be interdisciplinary and range over issues relating to
different fields of value inquiry. Topics may even be metadisciplinary and
address purely conceptual issues relating to evaluative considerations and
conflicts in general, as well as their relation to non-evaluative matters.

Papers should be limited to approximately 20 minutes reading time. You may
submit your abstract by email or regular mail. To send your abstract by
email, simply click here. If you are sending your abstract by regular mail,
please send two copies of an abstract, not more than 450 words, to either:
