DESCRIPTION:<p>Time at the Turn of the Twentieth Century in American-British Philosophy</p>\n<p>29-30 April 2021</p>\n<p>Durham University (Held via Zoom\, across North American and European Timezones)</p>\n<p>Around the turn of the twentieth century\, time became a major focus of American-British philosophy. Against a broadly Kantian-Hegelian backdrop\, philosophers began developing new questions and theories about time. Shadworth Hodgson argued humans perceive a &lsquo\;specious present&rsquo\;\, a short duration rather than an infinitesimally small one\; this view was further developed by Mary Calkins and William James. J. M. E. McTaggart advanced a new argument for the unreality of time. A. N. Whitehead made time the foundation of his process philosophy.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>This event brings together philosophers from Europe and North America exploring this period that was to become defining for the contours of twentieth-century English-speaking philosophy of time. The event will deliberately be scheduled to be compatible with European and North American time zones.</p>\n<p>Invited Speakers:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Holly Andersen (Simon Fraser)</li>\n<li>Richard Arthur (McMaster)</li>\n<li>Jeremy Dunham (Durham)</li>\n<li>Anthony Fisher (Washington)</li>\n<li>Geoffrey Gorham (Macalester College)</li>\n<li>William Mander (Oxford)</li>\n<li>Maty&aacute\;&scaron\; Moravec (Durham)</li>\n<li>Katarina Perovic (Iowa)</li>\n<li>Jack Shardlow (Warwick)</li>\n<li>Emily Thomas (Durham)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Attendance at the conference is free\, but please e-mail matyas.moravec@cantab.net to obtain the access link.</p>\n<p>This event is organised by Maty&aacute\;&scaron\; Moravec and Emily Thomas as part of the AHRC-funded project &ldquo\;Inventing Time: Past\, Present\, and Future of British Metaphysics 1878-1938&rdquo\; at Durham University.
