The History of Philosophy Roundtable
University of California, San Diego
Meetings Fall 2007 Previous Meetings
The History of Philosophy Roundtable meets regularly during the academic year to discuss work in progress by graduate students and faculty on topics in the history of philosophy. Most of the papers are by UCSD people, but we also welcome occasional visitors. If you are in the area or will be visiting San Diego and would like to participate, please contact Don Rutherford at the address below. All meetings are held in the Philosophy Department library, HSS 8025. Papers to be discussed are available in the library approximately one week before the scheduled meeting. To receive papers electronically, along with updates to the schedule, you may subscribe to the HOPR mailing list (hopr-AT-mind.ucsd.edu). To do so, simply send an email from the account to be subscribed to hopr-sub-AT-mind.ucsd.edu. To unsubscribe, send an email to hopr-unsub-AT-mind.ucsd.edu. The subject line and body can be blank; they are ignored (in each case replace -AT- with @).
