Dear All, Tomorrow (29th January) Mike Beaney, from the University of York, will give a talk entitled 'Analytic Philosophy: its analytic character and historical construction'. An abstract is attached below.
The meeting will start at 5.15pm and will be held in the Fisher Building of St. John's College in either the Boys Smith Room, the Dirac Room, or the Castlereagh Room. As usual, the speaker will present for no longer than 45 minutes, followed by a discussion until 7.00pm. If you would like to join Mike for dinner after the talk, then please let me know by noon tomorrow. The termcard is available online: http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/news_events/moral_sci.html Regards, Daniel Brigham Secretary of the Moral Sciences Club Faculty of Philosophy University of Cambridge *** In this talk I outline a framework for exploring conceptions and practices of analysis in the history of philosophy, to help identify what is characteristic of analytic philosophy. To give a full account of analytic philosophy as a philosophical tradition, however, we also need to appreciate its historical construction, and I indicate some of the main (and sometimes surprising) elements in this construction. _____________________________________________________ Sent by the CamPhilEvents mailing list.
