The Hume Society is pleased to announce a call for papers for its 
twenty-seventh annual conference, to be held August 2-7, 2000 in 
Williamsburg, Virginia (USA).  The title of the conference is a "A 
Feast of Reason", Hume's  expression for peaceable conversation among 
friends with whom he can "try the justness of every reflection, 
whether gay or serious, that may occur."  In keeping with the spirit 
of the feast, papers on any aspect of Hume's life and works will be 
considered for the program. However, the conference directors 
especially welcome submissions on Hume's views concerning the 
relation between reason and one of the the following topics: 
 
             Rhetoric, Representations, Religion, and Revolution 
 
The Hume Society has set aside up to $1000 for the  support of 
graduate students reading papers. These funds will be given at the 
discretion of the conference co-directors to those whose papers are 
accepted through the normal refereeing process. 
 
Papers should be no longer than thirty minutes in reading length, 
with self-references deleted for blind reviewing; the author's name 
should appear only on a front cover sheet. Papers may be in English, 
French, or German, but an abstract in English of up to 150 words is 
required for all papers. 
 
Submissions must be postmarked by November 1, 1999. Send triplicate 
copies of both abstracts and papers to: 
 
Professor Mikael M. Karlsson 
Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Hume Society 
University of Iceland 
Main Building IS-101
