The BU
Workshop on Late Modern Philosophy is an annual
forum for presenting new work on late-eighteenth
through early-twentieth-century
philosophy.
THEME FOR 2013:
The theme for the
2013 workshop is history’s relevance for
philosophy. Speakers might address the
role of historical, genealogical, and
narrative explanation in philosophical
arguments; the possibility that historical or
genealogical arguments provide a unique method
of philosophical critique; the way in which
historical approaches to philosophy disclose
new philosophical problems; the relevance of
conjectural or fanciful histories in
philosophical argumentation; and the views of
particular philosophers, including Hegel,
Marx, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, on history’s
relation to philosophy.
FORMAT:
The Workshop provides speakers with an opportunity
to receive constructive feedback on work in
progress. Papers are distributed in
advance. At the workshop, the participants
give brief summaries of their papers; this is
followed by an hour of discussion per paper.
The discussion is open to all audience
members.
