CFP:
Realism
--A case of mere homonymy or identifiable common commitments?
Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies
6-9 June 2011
http://www.nordprag.org/realism.html
The conference aims at exploring the relations different philosophical positions referred to as “realism” may have to each other. This question will be explored both from a historical perspective, focussing on the Middle Ages and Modernity, and from a systematic perspective based on contemporary debates.
The first conference days (6-8 June) are reserved for invited presentations. On the final day (9 June) the Nordic Pragmatism Network organizes a one-day follow-up symposium on “Pragmatism and Realism”, concentrating on the issue of realism with an emphasis on the philosophical tradition of pragmatism.
A tentative conference programme is available at http://www.nordprag.org/realism.html.
