Philosophy at the University of Glasgow is proud to be hosting Professor \;Tyler Burge as a Scots Philosophical Association Centenary Fellow. To mark \;Professor Burge&rsquo\;s visit\, the University will be holding a two-day workshop \;exploring themes from Burge&rsquo\;s work. The aim of the workshop is to bring \;together philosophers interested in questions of mind\, language and \;knowledge for discussion and debate centred on Burge&rsquo\;s vital contributions \;to these topics.
\nSubmission Details:
Abstracts of 250-500 words are invited on any aspect of Burge&rsquo\;s work. \;Proposals addressing themes from Burge&rsquo\;s recent book Origins of Objectivity \;are particularly encouraged.
Speakers will each be given slots of at least one hour. As the workshop aims \;to foster informal discussion\, there is flexibility regarding the format of \;presentations. Speakers may wish to present a paper followed by Q&\;A. \;Alternatively\, speakers may wish to lead a structured discussion of issues \;raised by Burges&rsquo\; work. This might take the form of a brief exposition of an \;issue followed by a series of discussion topics.
The deadline for submission is May 3rd. We aim to notify speakers of our \;decision no later than May 17th. Submissions and enquiries should be \;directed to \;thomas.mcclelland@glasgow.ac.uk
Some funds may be available to assist with the travel and accommodation \;costs of speakers. The workshop welcomes applications from graduate students \;and early career researchers.
