Search the Garden

Jorge Luis Borges

  • "Under the trees of England I meditated on this lost and perhaps mythical labyrinth. I imagined it untouched and perfect on the secret summit of some mountain; I imagined it drowned under rice paddies or beneath the sea; I imagined it infinite, made not only of eight-sided pavilions and of twisting paths but also of rivers, provinces and kingdoms. I thought of a maze of mazes, of a sinuous, ever growing maze which would take in both past and future and would somehow involve the stars."

U of Florida Conference on Agency in Moral Philosophy

Jing Zhu brought this conference at the University of Florida to my attention. With all the activity related to the philosophy of action and moral psychology in Florida, I almost wish I weren't in Upstate New York.
Action and Agency 2005
"Action and Agency" (February 18th & 19th, 2005) is a conference on the notion of agency in moral philosophy. Invited speakers include Randolph Clarke (University of Georgia), Robert Kane (University of Texas, Austin), Jaegwon Kim (Brown University), Kirk Ludwig (University of Florida), Alfred Mele (Florida State University), Timothy O'Connor (University of Indiana, Bloomington), and Michael Zimmerman (University of North Carolina, Greensboro). The conference will focus on the notion of agency in the context of moral philosophy, but will almost certainly broach connected issues, e.g., in action theory and philosophy of mind, that arise in connection with the phenomenon of agency broadly conceived, and that may be relevant to understanding agency in moral philosophy. For more information, contact Dr. Oshana

The Action and Agency conference at UF features invited speakers only (so, no submissions, please). The line up is great, however, and all interested parties are welcome and encouraged to come! If you think you can secure funding to cover your expenses, I will be happy to send you a letter of invitation.

February 2005 is AGENCY MONTH! I highly recommend the Action and Agency Conference at the University of Florida (Feb 18-9). I know that it will be an outstanding conference.

Then: on Feb. 26, UC Riverside is having a conference in honor of the publication of Gary Watson's collection of essays with OUP. So come to both conferences!
