Skepticism, 2008 Conference on Issues in Modern Philosophy November 7, 2008

The New York University Department of Philosophy sponsors annual conferences on issues in modern philosophy. Each conference invites a number of distinguished philosophers to examine the development of a central philosophical problem from early modern philosophy to the present, seeking to understand the evolution of formulations of the problem and of approaches to resolving it. By examining the work of philosophers of the past both in historical context and in relation to contemporary philosophical thinking, the conferences aim to allow philosophy’s past and present to illuminate each other.

The 2008 Conference, Skepticism, will be held November 8-9, 2008.

Please note that registration for the conference will be closed on Friday, October 31, at 5pm.
