Call for Papers. Harris Manchester College, Oxford, in association with the British Society for the History of Philosophy and the Bradley Society, will sponsor a conference on “Bosanquet and the Legacy of British Idealism” on September 1 and 2, 1999. Among the issues to be addressed at this conference are those of the legacy of this idealism and its relation to philosophers outside of the idealist “school” (e.g., Russell, Wittgenstein), to philosophers of succeeding genreations in Britain (e.g., Collingwood, Oakeshott, Harris), in the Anglo-American world (e.g., Royce, E. Jordan, Whitehead), and on the European continent (e.g., Croce, Gentile, Husserl), and to such disciplines as sociology, aesthetics, psychology, metaphysics, political philosophy, logic, and epistemology.
The number of papers to be accepted for presentation at the conference will be limited to ensure as much breadth as possible and ample time for discussion. Papers, including some of those not presented at the conference, will also be considered for inclusion in a volume of critical essays based on the conference theme.
Proposals for papers are due October 1, 1998; papers are due December 15, 1998. Proposals and papers should be sent to: Professor William Sweet, St [End Page 135] Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, Nova Scotia B 2G 2W5, Canada. Telephone: 1-902-2341; e-mail: wsweet@stfx.ca
