2007
The Philosophy Department of the Ohio State University cooperates with the University of Maribor (Slovenia) and the University of Rijeka (Croatia) to sponsor an annual philosophy conference at the Inter University Centre in Dubrovnik, Croatia. This conference is by invitation only.Specific topics of the conferences vary but in recent years there has been a practice of alternating between a conference focused on problems in metaphysics and epistemology and one focused on issued in moral philosophy. The conference theme for 2007 is epistemology and metaphysics, and the history of these subjects in the early modern period. For these purposes, early modern is construed to include Kant and Thomas Reid.
Conference participants for 2007 include: Louise Antony (Massachusetts), Karen Bennett (Princeton), Hartry Field (NYU), Elizabeth Fricker (Oxford), Mark Hinchliff (Reed), Thomas Hofweber (North Carolina), Sukjae Lee (Ohio State), Janet Levin (Southern California), Joe Levine (Massachusetts), Fraser McBride (Birkbeck College, London), Brian McLaughlin (Rutgers), Nenad Miscevic (Maribor), George Pappas (Ohio State), David Sanson (Ohio State), Larry Shapiro (Wisconsin), Stewart Shapiro (Ohio State), Ted Sider (Rutgers), Sidney Shoemaker (Cornell), William Taschek (Ohio State), Deborah Tollefsen (Memphis), Gabriel Uzquiano (Oxford), and Michael Watkins (Auburn).
