ASCP2007 Conference
University of Tasmania, Hobart, 5-8 December 2007
There is a long tradition according to which
dialogic practice lies at the very heart of philosophy.
Moreover the idea of dialogue has also had a central role
in a number of strands within Continental thought. The 2007
ASCP Conference will focus on the conception of dialogue
in philosophy, but with particular emphasis on the opening
up of philosophical dialogue between traditions and cultures
especially between east and west and on the way the happening
of dialogue in place sheds light on both the nature of dialogue
as well as on the place in which such dialogic engagement
takes place. This focus on dialogue in place connects with
the University of Tasmania's own commitment to a thoroughly
dialogic conception of philosophical inquiry, and to supporting
engagement between different traditions and cultures, and
to the sense of place which is so much part of the Tasmanian
location for this conference.
Accordingly,
the themes of this conference are intended to stimulate
dialogue rather than constrain it, in the areas of Continental
European philosophy in the tradition of the ASCP conference,
philosophical dialogue between east and west, and the philosophy
of place. A Hegel stream is planned, to mark the two-hundredth
anniversary of the publication of the Phenomenology
of Spirit.
