Dear Paul / Group,
I'm writing to ask for some further details of the talk in Dundee on
November 3 2004 by:
Frederic Worms (Paris/Lille) "Bergson today"
that you mention below as part of the "Dundee Senior Seminar series"
(or
"Royal Institute of Philosophy Dundee Lectures 2004: Philosophy in
Europe").
Do you have details of the time and place, and if possible how to get
there
from Edinburgh?
I should explain that I'm a part-time mature post-grad student at
Edinburgh
University (currently Eng Lit/Divinity), where I have recently handed
in an
MSc thesis on 'John Macmurray (1891-1976) and the Glasgow Idealists'
(yet to
be marked) in which I make mention of Bergson (albeit briefly) as a
possible
source (through A D Lindsay) of some of Macmurray's ideas on agency.
I'm
hoping to take this on to a PhD and in this light I'm particularly
interested Worms' work. Bergson of course gave Gifford Lectures at
Edinburgh
just before WW1 (never published) and I gather from one of the French
attendees at the 'Scottish Philosophy and France' conference a couple
of
years back at Aberdeen that he is currently the leading Bergson scholar
in
France, most recently through his Introduction to Matter and Memory
(Paris:
PUF, 1997).
So obviously I'd love to go to Worms' talk in Dundee on Nov 3rd.
However,
there seems to be no reference to it on the Dundee philosophy or Royal
Institute of Philosophy websites, and the email link on the Dundee
page
seemed to be broken.
So please can anyone tell me when and where in Dundee the talk is
(assuming
I'm eligible to attend)?
Many thanks
Stephen Cowley
Edinburgh
