Law, Philosophy and Naturalism Conference

Some readers may be interested in a conference on naturalism in law and philosophy to be held at Rutgers next month, June 7 to be precise. It’s a fairly impressive speaker list, including the blogworld’s own Brian Leiter, as well as Michael Smith, Jerry Fodor, Stephen Stich and many others. This link provides many more details about the program as well as the logistics. In an earlier post, Brian Leiter said, “As things stand, Stich and I will be carrying the flag for naturalism, with the Williamses and Zipursky representing the forces of retrograde philosophy!” As a proud reactionary, I’m hoping some of the other philosophers and legal scholars present, especially Michael Smith (who has never seemed averse to good a priori theorising) can help hold the fort.
