The Pittsburgh Continental Philosophy Reading Group is back from a brief hiatus for two last meetings before the end of the semester. Be sure to stop by this sunday for Mcgowan’s “On the Necessity of Contradiction: Hegel with the Speculative Realists” at the East End Book Exchange (4:00pm).
Be sure to check out the third — and final — plenary from Approaching the Liminal, which I was finally able to get edited together, and online: Tom Sparrow’s “Phenomenology, Metaphysics, and the Speculative Turn.”
Pittsburgh is a busy place for philosophical discussion this week:
The Pittsburgh Continental Philosophy Network is pleased to announce that we are now accepting submissions for our first annual Pittsbugh Continental Philosophy Conference entitled, Approaching the Liminal: Pushing the Boundaries of Continental Philosophy (Sept. 26th and 27th). The conference will feature Dr. Tom Sparrow (Slippery Rock University) and Dr. Erik Garrett (Duquesne University) as keynotes. The full CFP can be found here: CFP – Approaching the Liminal (abstracts due by June 15th). Interested parties throughout the greater Pittsburgh area, and in a wide variety of fields (including philosophy, psychology, communications, theology, and sociology, to name only a few) are strongly encouraged to apply.
I just found out today that Ray Brassier will be at Duquesne University tomorrow afternoon at 3:15, presenting at the Simon Silverman Center (Library 1st floor). Don’t mees this exciting opportunity to see one of the founders of the Speculative Realism movement.
