Call for Applications Theme: Beyond the Canon Subtitle: Unexplored Topics and Forgotten Thinkers Type: OZSW Autumn School Institution: Dutch Research School of Philosophy (OZSW) Tilburg University Location: Tilburg (Netherlands) Date: 25.–26.10.2019 Deadline: 1.6.2019 __________________________________________________ Textbooks on the history of philosophy deal with what are widely agreed to be the most important themes and thinkers of the past two-and-a-half thousand years. They discuss, among others, the views of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Locke, Hume, and Kant, as well as the major traditions and debates in epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics: rationalism vs. empiricism, essentialism vs. nominalism, realism vs. idealism, and consequentialism vs. deontology. But how did the philosophical canon presented in the textbooks arise? To what extent does the canon give an accurate picture of the philosophical tradition? And are there thinkers, topics, themes or traditions that are worthy of note but that have not been taken up in the canon? Questions like these will be at the heart of the OZSW Autumn School of 2019 at Tilburg University, The Netherlands. Our lecturers Han Thomas Adriaenssen, Liam Kofi Bright, Gary Ostertag, and Marta Sznajder will discuss these questions, calling on a wide range of periods and philosophical traditions.
