XII Conference of the Italian Society for Analytic Philosophy (SIFA) 5-7 September 2016, Pistoia INTRODUCTION This booklet contains the abstracts of SIFA 2016, the Twelfth Conference of the Italian Society for Analytic Philosophy. These are the abstracts of the plenary and invited speakers’ talks, along with the accepted contributions and the papers selected for the four symposia included in the program. The conference is organized by the SIFA Steering Committee, UNISER, and the Centre for Philosophy of Time, Milan. It will take place in Pistoia from the 5th to the 7th of September. We received 212 submissions from Italian and international speakers, about 80% of which were accepted. The total number of presentations will be 175. All selected papers have been accepted via a peer review process that involved the SIFA Steering Committee and external referees. The best two papers given by young scholars will be awarded a prize of 250 euros. Recent graduates and young scholars not permanently affiliated to higher education institutions are eligible to be considered for the prize. There will be ten sessions, ranging from Metaphysics and Action Theory to Philosophy of Mind and Aesthetics. Moreover, four symposia have been organized: on Time, Music and Auditory Experience, Property and Equality in Left-libertarianism, and Medicine and Mind. The conference is sponsored by UNISER. The workshop on Time has been promoted through a project funded by Università degli Studi di Milano (15-6-3007000-2021), and a project funded by Fondazione Cariplo & Regione Lombardia (15-5-3007000-601), under the auspices of The Center for Philosophy of Time, Department of Philosophy, Università degli Studi di Milano. The workshop on Medicine and Mind has been funded by BIOM. SIFA conferences represent an important opportunity for stimulating scientific collaboration among analytic philosophers from Italy and abroad. We hope that all participants will find this year’s conference a productive occasion for exchanging ideas and that they will enjoy their stay in Pistoia.
