8-9 Apr 2011
Utrecht, The Netherlands
We cordially invite you to participate in the kick off workshop of the project 'What is really possible?'. The workshop will take place at Drift 21, in the city center of Utrecht, on Friday 8 April and Saturday 9 April. The website for the workshop, and the project, can be found at the following address: http://possibilities.phil.uu.nl/events/kickoff/ In science and in practical life, we continuously deal with real possibilities: outcomes of experiments, calculated risks, consequences of actions, fearing or craving something before us. The workshop explores the notion of real possibility from different angles, varying from philosophical logic to metaphysics and the philosophy of action. The speakers are: Stephen Boulter (Oxford Brookes University) Barbara Vetter (Humboldt Universität, Berlin) Jacob Rosenthal (Universität Bonn) Torben Braüner (Roskilde University) Peter Øhrstrøm (Aalborg University) Tomasz Placek (Jagiellonian University, Kraków) Jan Broersen (Utrecht University) René van Woudenberg (Free University, Amsterdam) Jan-Willem Romeijn (University of Groningen) Also note that, on thursday April 7, 4-6PM, Geert Keil (Humboldt Universität) will give a Zeno-lecture in Utrecht, on the subject "Free Will: Libertarian Sketch". A time table, a map, and further information can be found on the website mentioned above. If you wish to attend the workshop, please send an email to rosja.mastop@phil.uu.nl
