Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy
7th Annual Conference
Continental Drift?
Modern European Philosophy in Britain Today
Friday 14th and Saturday 15th May 2004
Gustav Tuck/A.V.Hill Lecture Theatres
UCL, Gower Street, London WC1
£25 waged/£15 unwaged
After a period of growth during the 1990s, modern European philosophy
in Britain has reached a watershed in its institutional development.
This conference aims to reassert its significance as a central part of
philosophy in Britain. Most discussion of the tradition has focused
upon either its relation to analytical and post- analytical work, or
the scholarly issues involved in appropriating particular thinkers into
the context of the English-speaking philosophical community. In
contrast, this conference invites the most prominent figures working in
the area polemically to address the philosophical project with which
they are associated, in order to produce a collective snapshot of the
field, as a field of philosophical practices.
