The Department of Philosophy at The University of Bristol announces a
postgraduate conference:

NOVEL APPROACHES IN THE PHILOSOPHIES OF THE MATHEMATICAL AND NATURAL
SCIENCES

The conference will take place on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th June 2005 in
the Department of Philosophy.

The organisers are delighted to host the following keynote speakers:

Professor John Macfarlane (Group in Logic and the Methodology of Science,
UC Berkeley)

Professor Alexander Bird (Department of Philosophy, University of Bristol)

Dr John P. Mayberry (Pure Mathematics Group, University of Bristol)

CALL FOR PAPERS

The organisers invite postgraduate students to submit papers in which they
develop or propose a novel approach to a problem in the philosophy of
science or the philosophy of mathematics. We hope to include short papers
in which, perhaps, a single novel argument is presented and defended as
well as longer papers in which a substantial position may be described. The
short papers will be allocated 20-30 minutes with 10-20 minutes for
discussion while the longer papers will be allocated 50-60 minutes with
30-40 minutes for discussion. The travel and accommodation expenses for
speakers will be paid by the conference.

There is no registration fee for the conference; however, those wishing to
attend are asked to inform the organisers by email - addresses given below.

Please submit full papers by post to:

Novel Approaches conference,
Department of Philosophy,
9, Woodland Road,
Bristol

(If you choose to submit a hard copy of your paper by post, we regret that
we will be unable to return the hard copy.)
