Philosophy Events

The Philosophy programme runs two seminar series:

• the programme seminar is a weekly research seminar, with papers by visiting philosophers or members of the Victoria Philosophy programme
• the student seminar is a student-run work-in-progress seminar.

The programme holds numerous social events throughout the year.

The Victoria University Philosophy Programme is pleased to host a mini-conference celebrating the work of Kendall Walton on Tuesday 25th March, 2008.  Please click here for further details.

The Victoria University Philosophy Programme will also be hosting a three-day workshop (11-13 June 2008) entitled "Molinism: The Contemporary Debate".  Confirmed speakers include: William Lane Craig, Thomas Flint, William Hasker, Edwin Mares and Ken Perszyk, Trenton Merricks, Greg Restall, and Peter van Inwagen.  There may be room for an additional speaker.
