Details

We are very familiar with the philosophical projects of those who, in the history of the Western tradition, we call the Rationalists. But much contemporary philosophy, as well as philosophy outside the Western tradition, looks to be guided by rationalist precepts - a good example of which is the Principle of Sufficient Reason. This event draws together a group of philosophers whose work can be understood as exploring metaphysics in a rationalist spirit, as opposed to being invested exclusibely in the metaphysics of the Rationalists.
