Graduate Workshops in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Contemporary Philosophy

This workshop is a conduit for advanced graduate students in philosophy and related fields to present work in progress on topics relating to contemporary issues in philosophy. For each session, one student submits a paper and another comments upon the paper and leads off discussion. The fields of interest of the participants include history of philosophy from the early modern period through the twentieth century, contemporary epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of mind, aesthetics, political philosophy, ethics, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, and philosophy of literature. In addition, the workshop brings in one distinguished philosopher each year for an extended visit with students.
