Taking Philosophy beyond Disciplinary Bounds
On-going until Mar 9, 2011
@ EESAT
20th century philosophy took up the mantle of a discipline, embracing academic specialization, philosophy was written-by-and-for-professional philosophers. In the current age of accountability a disciplinary approach to philosophy faces a number of challenges. Philosophers (and others across the academy) are asked to justify their relevance to society--relevance that can perhaps be demonstrated by philosophers working across and beyond the disciplines: for instance, in partnership with other disciplines, especially scientists or engineers, or through working with policy makers. Does disciplinary philosophy need to be complemented by inter- and transdisciplinary philosophic work?
This conference seeks to attract philosophers who are developing new (often interdisciplinary) models
for philosophic engagement, as well as scientists, policy makers, and others who are interested in the role that philosophy can or should play in collaborative situations. Our goal is to foster a community of practice for developing new approaches of engaged philosophy, a community that includes scientists, social scientists, and policy makers.
