2ND ANNUAL GRADUATE PHILOSOPHY
CONFERENCE

Ancient Friends in Contemporary Thinking

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
JOHN SALLIS
BOSTON COLLEGE

FEBRUARY 23RD 2008

In the terrain of contemporary thinking, it seems, are found propitious encounters with the ancients: encounters that do not merely fascinate, castigate, or enthrall, but further enable thinking. We wish to invite papers that comment on or articulate this terrain, that enter into such encounters, or play out such friendships.

Approaches could be made from (but are not limited to):

• Phenomenology
• Deconstruction
• Literary Theory
• Feminist Theory
• Psychoanalysis
• Political Theory
• Post-Structuralism
• Critical Theory
• Critical Race Theory
• Aesthetics

This conference is co-sponsored by Duquesne Graduate Students in Philosophy (GSIP), Duquesne University Philosophy, the Dean of the McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts, and the Simon Silverman Phenomenology Center.

Submission Deadline: January 1st 2008
