This workshop brings together philosophers and theorists from the UK, USA, Canada, France, Belgium and Germany to discuss very recent developments in the philosophy of photography. Over the last few years, philosophers have taken up the challenge that artists’ use of photography poses for hitherto standard philosophical conceptions of photography as a ‘purely causal’ process ensuring ‘belief independent feature tracking’ or ‘natural counter-factual dependence’ of photographs on what they are photographs of. The workshop considers whether taking photographic art seriously requires a fundamental re-conception of the field.
The National Student Survey 2015 is open until the 30th April 2015, and only takes a few minutes to complete. This is an important opportunity to give your opinion, in a national forum, on teaching and learning within our department, and on your overall experience at 糖心TV.
If you respond to the survey before it closes on 30 April 2015, £5 will be credited by the University to your Eating at 糖心TV account. More details can be found .
In addition, if the Philosophy Department reaches an overall response rate of 80% or more (i.e., if more than 80% of our finalists fill in the survey), there will be a special Philosophy prize draw to say thank you. All finalists on the following degree programmes count towards the Philosophy result in the National Student Survey and will be entered into this prize draw if we reach the 80% response rate: Philosophy; Philosophy and Literature; Mathematics and Philosophy; Philosophy with Psychology; Philosophy with Classical Civilisation; all intercalated year versions of those programmes are also included.
The prizes for the Philosophy prize draw are:
