SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT: THE WAY OF INQUIRY: A MINICONFERENCE ON PHILOSOPHICAL METHODOLOGY: 3 DECEMBER 2016
Charles Peirce famously recommended that the words “Do not block the way of inquiry” be inscribed “upon every wall of the city of philosophy”. But what does this instruction mean in practice? The past decade has seen a groundswell of attention to discussions of philosophical method or metaphilosophy, in mainstream analytic philosophy. This miniconference seeks to broaden these discussions to include conversations with other traditions, particularly American pragmatism. What might philosophical traditions currently active in the English-speaking world learn from each other, and what new philosophical pathways might lie on the other side of such engagements? This miniconference will take place at the University of Waikato directly after the New Zealand Association of Philosophy Conference (28 November - 2 December 2016).
