Graduate Conference 2004
8th Annual Oxford Philosophy Graduate Conference
University of Oxford, November 6-7 2004
Oxford’s graduate philosophy conferences are unique in that faculty members lead the replies to student papers, thus providing student participants with the opportunity to engage in direct discussion of their papers with leading philosophers.
In previous years, the conference has attracted students and keynote speakers from around the world. This year, we were very pleased to welcome Professors Susan Wolf and Crispin Wright who had kindly agreed to be our keynote speakers.
Keynote Speakers
Professor Susan Wolf (University of North Carolina). 'Moral Psychology and the Unity of the Virtues'
Professor Crispin Wright (University of St. Andrews). 'Realism, Relativism and Rhubarb'
