The Political Philosophy Discussion Group will meet this Thursday (the 19th of February) between 2pm and 4pm in the Philosophy Common Room (located in the Main Quadrangle) at the University Of Sydney. The journal article to be discussed is L. L. Ypi, 'Statist Cosmopolitanism', The Journal Of Political Philosophy, vol. 16, no. 1, March 2008, pp. 4871. All are welcome!
In addition to discussing journal articles, we hope to be able to host presentations applying various philosophical methodologies/theories to topical political, social and economic issues. This is an attempt to remedy, if only in a minor way, the lack of argumentative rigour that often characterises public debate. The other goal is that this will serve as an ecumenical philosophical forum that bridges the usually misleading, and almost always unproductive analytical-continental divide. The format for presentations will be loose and the atmosphere will be casual. Expert knowledge of the empirical issue being discussed is not expected. Anyone interested in presenting something is encouraged to contact us. The Political Philosophy Discussion Group will meet every second Thursday. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact myself, Benjamin Herscovitch: [email protected], Nick Malpas: [email protected], or Kyla Reid: [email protected]. All the best. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ SydPhil mailing list [email protected] List Info: http://lists.arts.usyd.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/sydphil NEW LIST ARCHIVE: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
