There has been much interest lately on the part of academics, museum
professionals and policy makers on interactions between
universitiesB 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 this tradition who have engaged with museums and taken
seriously the philosophical questions they raise.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.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 ofB PhilosophyB (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:
