There has been much interest lately on the part of academics, museum
professionals and policy makers on interactions between universities
and museums. Critical theory, influenced by Continental philosophy, has
had a shaping role on the discussions which have taken place; however,
so far there has been little attention to what the insights of
philosophers in the Anglo-American tradition might bring to the table.
This conference will highlight the scholarship of philosophers in the
Anglo-American tradition who have engaged with museums and taken
seriously the philosophical questions they raise.
B
This international conference will bring together philosophers from a
spectrum of philosophical sub-disciplines, ranging from ethics, through
aesthetics, to metaphysics and philosophy of religion. It will explore
how their work contributes to the understanding of museums and what
light it can shed on the philosophical questions raised by museum
practices. The conference will address such questions under three main
headings: Ethics, Aesthetics and Ontology.
B
Papers should take 30 minutes to present and be submitted in a form
suitable for blind review. Our aim is to involve speakers with a
variety of perspectives. It is intended that papers presented at the
conference should be suitable for publication as a special
supplementary volume ofPhilosophyB (scheduled to appear with Cambridge
University Press in 2014). It is a condition of accepting the
invitation to participate in the conference that we would have the
first right of refusal on a final version of any paper delivered at the
conference. Please consult the conference website for further details
of the topics which papers might address:
