Early Modern Philosophy Conference, 9 December 2016
The School of Theology, Philosophy, and Music is delighted to be hosting the Second Irish Early Modern Philosophy Conference, to be held on 9th December 2016 on the DCU All Hallows Campus. The one-day event aims to build on the success of the inaugural conference, held at UCC in 2014, and presents an array of speakers and topics. Organisers hope that the conference will help to develop interest in, and discourse around, philosophical issues emerging in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.
All are welcome, and admission is free – although anyone interested in attending is asked to register by contacting ian.leask@dcu.ie.
