The Leverhulme International Network\, "The Impact of Idealism"\, is \;holding its final conference from the 6th to the 8th Sept 2012 at \;Magdalene College\, Cambridge. A provisional programme can be found \;below. This\, along with the four-volume set\, "The Impact of Idealism: \;the legacy of post-Kantian German Thought" (general editors Nicholas \;Boyle and Liz Disley\, section editors Karl Ameriks\, John Walker\, \;Nicholas Adams and Christoph Jamme\, Cambridge University Press\, \;forthcoming Autumn 2013)\, is the culmination of this three-year \;project\, funded by the Leverhulme and Newton trusts. Over three days\, \;many of the project's contributors will present the contributions that \;have resulted from their participation in the network.
As an interdisciplinary conference\, this meeting is likely to be of \;interest to philosophers\, both continental and analytical\, \;intellectual historians and social scientists\, theologians and \;literary scholars\, amongst others. Papers will be pre-circulated to \;registered participants and summarized by their authors at the \;conference. Those attending can choose whether to come to all three \;days\, or just one or two. Accommodation is available in Cripps Court\, \;Magdalene college's conference centre\, where en-suite rooms are \;available. There are also a limited number of cheaper rooms with \;shared bathrooms\, e.g. for graduate students. Please see the project \;website\, \;http://www.mml.cam.ac.uk/german/research/idealism/events.html \;to \;download the registration form. Please note that the deadline for \;registration is the 24th of July.
