Dear Thad and staff members
I have registered via this page:
but, the announcement at Philevents (https://philevents.org/event/show/89758 and https://philevents.org/event/show/89762) shows the URL link:
http://www.up.ac.za/pcml2022 for registration and the call for papers, but this URL does not exist (Not Found 404).
I think this problem should be resolved. Currently no one can visit the registration & call for papers page via Philevents.
Best wishes,
Masahiro Morioka

Dear Philosophy Colleagues
On behalf of Prof Thaddeus Metz (Department of Philosophy, University of Pretoria), please find attached the CfP for the Fourth International Conference on Philosophy and Meaning in Life, 17 - 19 January 2022. Below you will find core content with relevant website links:
Call for papers:
We invite submissions concerning meaning in/of life as considered in the field of philosophy. Please send an abstract of approximately 500 words (excluding any references), prepared for blind review, via https://www.up.ac.za/cf-pcml2022/conference/registration
Conference website: https://www.up.ac.za/cf-pcml2022
Meaning in life is one of the most fundamental philosophical problems, discussed for centuries but having acquired considerable depth in English-speaking philosophy over the past 30 years. Is there any meaning in life? If so, how can we find it? Can life be meaningful if death is the ultimate end of our existence? How is meaning related to well-being and happiness? What are the moral implications of philosophical debates on meaning in life? Can life be objectively meaningful, or can it only be subjectively meaningful? What are the links between God and meaning? What do we mean by ‘meaning’ in the first place?
The aim of the conference is to address these fundamental questions from a wide range of philosophical perspectives, including both western and non-western traditions. Potential topics could include, but are not limited to: theoretical approaches to meaning in/of life; the relationship between death and meaning; anti-natalism and nihilism; procreation and extinction; spiritual, religious, and psychological implications of meaning; linguistic, metaphysical, and epistemological issues concerning meaning; meaning in applied ethics, such as bioethics, environmental ethics, and transhumanism; the roles of narrative, identity, and agency; comparative accounts of meaning in religio-philosophical traditions around the world; implications of meaning for health, well-being, or virtue.
Deadline for abstract submission: 10 October 2021
Applicants will be notified of the result via email by the beginning of December 2021.
Publication: Speakers are encouraged to submit their papers for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Philosophy of Life to be published by the end of 2022 (or possibly early 2023).
