Philosophy Across Traditions

The theme of this year’s Colloquium is Philosophy Across Traditions: it aims at showcasing the diversity of Philosophy across Perth’s universities and at fostering dialogue between different approaches. We encourage contributions from all philosophical traditions, as well as from other disciplines that take into account philosophical questions.

The Colloquium is a forum for the exchange of ideas in a supportive, collegial atmosphere. It aims to strengthen the ties between academic philosophers in Western Australia, as well as reaching out to colleagues in other disciplines, to students and to the wider philosophy community.

This year, we have the special pleasure to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Colloquium, proudly continuing its tradition of representing philosophy in Perth in its diversity. This year’s invited speakers are:

                Prof Horst Ruthrof (Murdoch University): Speculations on the Origins of Language (Welcome Address)

                Dr Barry Maund (University of Western Australia): TBA (Keynote Address)

The Colloquium is open to academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students. The Colloquium will be followed by drinks, nibbles and more discussion at the School of Arts common room. We will conclude the evening with a collegial dinner in Fremantle, location tba.
