The aim of the conference is to bring together scholars working in 
philosophy of art and aesthetics, literary theory, literary studies,

with the aim of honoring the immense impact that Peter Lamarque and

The topics include, but are not limited to, the question of definition, 
meaning and value of literature and various literary genres; literary 
canon; interpretation of literary works; fiction and non-fiction; 
relation of fiction and literature; questions of expression; philosophy 
of poetry; narration; ontology of literature; emotional reactions to 
literature; paradox of fiction; fictional characters; literature and

like. We are also interested in establishing a dialogue between literary 
theorists and philosophers and to discuss methodological advantages and 
disadvantages of various approaches to literature. In addition, we plan 
to organize a roundtable dedicated to the current status of literature 
in education and society, with the aim of promoting the values of the 
humanities and the overall appreciation of literature.
