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."

Experimental Philosophy, Salt Lake City, and You

Shaun Nichols passes on word of a terrific-looking NEH Institute he and Ron Mallon are running this summer. Info below.


------

Experimental Philosophy is a new movement that uses experiments to address traditional philosophical questions.  Although the movement is only a few years old, it has attracted prolific practitioners as well as ardent critics.  (For more about Experimental Philosophy, see the recent article in the New York Times or the ongoing discussion at the Experimental Philosophy Blog.)

This summer, the NEH is sponsoring an Institute on Experimental Philosophy. The Institute will bring in over a dozen distinguished guest faculty, who will present their latest research across a wide range of issues and perspectives. The Institute will also provide participants with the opportunity to learn experimental methods that are used in Experimental Philosophy.

The Institute will take place in SLC from June 22-July 17 2009.  Eligible participants must have a teaching position at a U.S. college or university.  The deadline for application is March 2. More information about the Institute, as well as application materials, are available here.
