Full details and online registration here CSSP, Princeton, 3-5th June, 2011 “Scottish Philosophy in the 19th Century: Scotland and America” The aim of the 2011 Center for the Study of Scottish Philosophy conference is to draw scholarly and philosophical attention to the Scottish philosophical tradition after the period of the 18th century Enlightenment. In the 19th century, , both in Scotland and in North America, the ‘moral science’ of Hutcheson, Hume and Reid encountered the challenge of Kant and Idealism, as well as the empiricist attack of John Stuart Mill. These encounters called forth sophisticated defenders on both sides of the Atlantic – notably Sir William Hamilton in Edinburgh, James McCosh in Princeton, Noah Porter in Yale and Francis Bowen in Harvard. They also prompted a transformation of the tradition itself with the emergence in Scotland of J F Ferrier, Edward Caird and Andrew Seth, and the development of Pragmatism as a distinctively American version of Common Sense. Papers proposals are invited on any topic or philosopher appropriate to this theme. They should be 300-500 words long and submitted to cssp@ptsem.edu by December 15th 2010.
