DESCRIPTION:<p>The <strong>Arch&eacute\; Research Centre</strong> at the <strong>University of St Andrews</strong> is pleased to announce its first workshop on<em> </em><strong><em>"Analysis: History &amp\; Metaphilosophy"</em></strong>.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The event is <strong>open to all</strong> and <strong>participation is free of charge</strong>. Additionally\, in order to alleviate attendance costs\, the Analysis Trust offers a limited number of <strong>bursaries for graduate students</strong> (bursaries cover up to 50% of the cost of accommodation and subsistence). To apply to the Analysis bursary scheme\, please send a PDF document containing your <strong>CV</strong> and a short <strong>supporting statement</strong> (MAX 500 words) to <strong>analysis.st.andrews@gmail.com</strong> by <strong>30 April\, 23:59</strong>.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>EVENT DESCRIPTION:</p>\n<p>The notion of <strong><em>analysis</em></strong> has played a substantial role in characterising the so-called Analytic Tradition of thought and\, as a result\, the discipline of philosophy as we know and practice it today. However\, contrary to what this statement might suggest\, isolating the tenets of the <strong>analytic method</strong> is no easy task. In effect\, although it is commonly claimed that one of the hallmarks of analytic philosophers is their commitment to <strong>clarity</strong>\, the very notion of analysis appears to be surrounded by an impenetrable veil of <strong>obscurity</strong>.</p>\n<p>The term &lsquo\;analysis&rsquo\; seems in fact to refer to a <strong>multitude of techniques</strong> as diverse as the theoretical tools they deploy. This terminological confusion&mdash\;in itself unproblematic&mdash\;is nonetheless symptomatic of a more serious state of <strong>methodological fuzziness</strong>. Can different forms of analysis yield conflicting results? If so\, which results should we accept\, and which should we reject?</p>\n<p>As things stand\, questions like these have not yet been fully explored. Yet\, such questions are all the more relevant in a metaphilosophical landscape dominated by the emergence of new approaches to philosophical enquiry that profess to be averse to the use of analysis (<strong>Conceptual Engineering</strong> is an eminent example).</p>\n<p>This state of affairs makes it imperative to understand what the method of analysis really is\, was\, and could be. The present Arch&eacute\; workshop aims to extensively explore this topic by bringing together distinguished scholars whose work has contributed to shedding light on the <strong>philosophical value of analysis</strong> (or lack thereof) and on the role of this methodology in the <strong>development of Analytic Philosophy</strong>.</p>\n<p>Should you have any questions regarding the event\, please do not hesitate to write to <strong>analysis.st.andrews@gmail.com</strong>.</p>\n<p>We look forward to seeing you there!</p>
