Details

A celebration of the work of Keith Hossack, with papers from:

  • Dorothy Edgington
  • Bob Hale
  • MM McCabe
  • Ian Rumfitt
  • Mark Textor

Keith's work is systematic and wide ranging. It covers topics including: epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of action, philosophy of logic, philosophy of consciousness and personal identity. Furthermore, it is historically grounded both in the roots of the analytic tradition, in particular Frege, Russell and Wittgenstein, together with its branches, in particular Quine and Lewis. His book 'The Metaphysics of Knowledge' brings these strands together, and he is now working on a book on mathematics.

Entry is free of charge, and lunch will be provided. We ask, however, that participants book a place in order to help us plan catering
