The Philosophical Quarterly 2011 Prize Essay Competition

Hume after 300 Years

The Philosophical Quarterly invites submissions for its 2011 international prize essay competition, the topic of which is ‘Hume after 300 Years’. 2011 marks the tercentenary of the birth of David Hume. Entries are invited on all aspects of Hume's philosophy. Particularly welcome will be essays on relatively neglected parts of Hume's corpus: for example, his theory of space and time; his typology of the passions; the Treatise account of political obligation; the first (1741-42) volumes of Essays, Moral and Political; the second Enquiry; the Four Dissertations. Essays should not be longer than 8,000 words, and should be typed in double spacing. Most formats are acceptable, but PDF is preferred. Alternatively, non-electronic submissions may be sent to the address below. Three copies of each essay are required and these will not be returned. All entries will be regarded as submissions for publication in ThePhilosophical Quarterly, and both winning and non-winning entries judged to be of sufficient quality will be published. Electronic submission is preferred and contributions may be sent as email attachments to 
pq@st-andrews.ac.uk
The closing date for submissions is 1st November 2011.
All submissions should be headed 'Hume’ Prize Essay Competition (with the author's name and address given in a covering letter, but NOT in the essay itself) and sent to:
