Physicalism Conference
The department hosted a very successful conference on Physicalism from April 1-3, 2005. A truly first-rate group of scholars
presented their work, which included:
- David Chalmers (Australian National University) "Physicalism and Necessity"
- Janice Dowell (Bowling Green State University) “The Physical: Empirical, Not Metaphysical”
- John Hawthorne (Rutgers University) Title to be announced
- Frank Jackson (Australian National University) “On Ensuring that Physicalism is not a Dual Attribute Theory in Sheep's Clothing.”
- Noa Latham (University of Calgary) "Ways in which the World is Physical"
- Andrew Melnyk (University of Missouri-Columbia) “Cornell Physicalism”
- Jessica Wilson (University of Michigan) “On Characterizing the Physical ”
- Gene Witmer (University of Florida) "How to Be a (Sort of) A Priori Physicalist."
- Sara Worley (Bowling Green State University) "Physicalism and the 'Via Negativa'"
Several of the papers presented are still available on the conference website . Janice Dowell in particular should be thanked for doing a large part of the work necessary to make this event take physical
form.
Needless to say, not all of the conference was spent on the serious side of things ...
