The Bounds of Sense: Fifty Years On.
2 May 2016\, Trinity College\, Oxford
*** REGISTRATION OPEN ***
\nA One Day Workshop
P.F. Strawson&rsquo\;s The Bounds of Sense was published in 1966. This pioneering commentary on Immanuel Kant&rsquo\;s Critique of Pure Reason has been incredibly influential\, both in Kant scholarship and in theoretical philosophy more generally. Strawson&rsquo\;s identification of a necessary structure to our thought and experience\, his criticisms of inflationary metaphysical thinking\, and his deployment of a method of transcendental argument have provoked and inspired in equal measure. In Hilary Putnam&rsquo\;s words\, The Bounds of Sense &lsquo\;opened the way to a reception of Kant's philosophy by analytic philosophers&rsquo\;.
\;
This workshop will use the half-century of Strawson&rsquo\;s book as an opportunity to reassess its significance\, in terms of its substantive discussion of topics in theoretical philosophy and also as a commentary on and interpretation of the Critique of Pure Reason.
