Welcome!

This is a home of Slovak Metaphysical Society hosted by the Institute of Philosophy of Slovak Academy of Sceinces. The purpose of the society is to promote the study of (analytic) metaphysics and related disciplines. By organizing conferences, seminars or workshops, we hope to put together all those (not only slovak) philosophers working in the field.
