The “NYU Grad Conference”:http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/philo/gradconf/ (which is conveniently on at the same time as the APA Pacific) has posted the papers to be presented “here”:http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/philo/gradconf/schedule.html. A few things worth noting directly relevant to this blog.
“Kelly Trogdon”:http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/philo/gradconf/papers/Trogdon.pdf (Ohio State) on imaginative resistance, including an extended discussion of me! (This could be the first extended discussion of something of mine at a conference. I’m very pleased. The only extended discussion of views of mine in print is by David Lewis, a fact about which I am also pleased.)
“Nick Treanor”:http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/philo/gradconf/papers/Treanor.pdf (Brown) on ignorance and inquiry.
“Roald Nashi”:http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/philo/gradconf/papers/Nashi.pdf (Cornell) on the causal theory of knowledge.
There’s many more interesting looking papers there, and I’ll try to add them all to the papers blog tomorrow.
UPDATE: By the way, if you want to read two of the papers Kelly Trogden is criticising, Tamar’s paper is “here”:http://people.cornell.edu/pages/tsg3/imagresist.pdf and my paper is “here”:http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Philosophy/homepages/weatherson/mfp.htm. Isn’t open access scholarship a wonderful thing?!
SECOND UPDATE: As Michael Feurstein says in the comments, it’s actually the *Columbia*/NYU grad student conference. I was thrown by the graphic on the front page. The arch told me that NYU was involved, but I expected something more Upper West Side to represent Columbia, like maybe a people’s red flag or something.
By the way, if I get bored making jokes about NYC stereotypes, I might try writing specificially about Kelly Trogden’s imaginative resistance paper, but I don’t know when that will get done. (It takes me a _long_ time to get bored of city stereotype jokes.)
