The Grice Annual Lectures

Speranza

I wish Grice had them. But of course, he has them every year when a lecturer uses 'implicature' in his lectures.

O. T. O. H., there's the annual Carnap lectures [sic in plural].

Below.

Rudolf-Carnap-Lectures

 

Rrom the online site:

"[t]he Rudolf-Carnap-Lectures are an annual event started by Prof. Dr. Albert Newen from the Institute of Philosophy II at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany in 2008."

 

"The Lectures provide a platform for distinguished scholars to present their work in the form of several talks on their preferred topic."

 

"The focus is usually on the areas of Philosophy of Mind, Language or Science."

 

"In turn, graduate students interested in these topics get the chance to engage in extensive discussion and get in touch with state-of-the-art research."

 

"In addition, some of them have the chance to present their own work on related topics during a graduate conference, based on a peer review process."

"The lecture series is dedicated to the philosopher Rudolf Carnap (1891-1970) who was born in Barmen (today: Wuppertal) which is not far from Bochum."

 

"He studied Philosophy, Mathematics and Physics in Jena and Freiburg, amongst others with Gottlob Frege, and is one of the main representatives of Logical Empiricism."

Prior Carnap-Lecturers include Shaun Gallagher (Memphis), Alva Noë (Berkeley), John Perry (Stanford) [who contributed to PGRICE], David Papineau (London), Tim Crane (Cambridge) & Katalin Farkas (Budapest) (see Archive).

Forthcoming Carnap Lectures 2014

From March 10-12, 2014, the next RCL will be presented by Prof. Daniel C. Dennett (Tufts University).

[who spells 'Gricean', rightly, as 'Griceian', I believe]

"Dennett is going to give several lectures in the context of a Graduate Conference with Student presentations on aspects of his work incl. Intentionality, Consciousness, Free Will, Evolution and Religion."

Daniel C. Dennett is Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Centre for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University in Medford (Massachusetts).

More details to be announced soon.
