The 3rd annual Philosophy Symposium is being held at the Mt Helen campus of the University of Ballarat. In choosing Philosophy & Responsibility - A Day of Philosophical Friendship & Conversation as the theme of this year's Symposium we reflect on philosophy's two-fold nature. It is and must be a responsible practice in its own right, but it is also an activity of reconsidering the issues of our (epistemological, ontological, ethical, social, political, aesthetic) responsibilities in the world.
The Symposium will be held at the University of Ballarat on Monday 7 December 2009 and is open to interested academics, postgraduate and undergraduate students. Our goal is to provide a supportive collegial forum to promote the vital exchange of ideas and ongoing conversation in philosophy, as well as to foster ties between participants.
The UB Philosophy Programme invited abstracts of 250 words for twenty-minute papers in any field of philosophy or papers that present philosophical perspectives on other fields of the humanities and social sciences. We are please to confirm the presentation of ten diverse papers (The School of Law, Deaking University; Faculty of IT, Monahs University; Philosophy, Murdoch University; School of ITMS, School of BSSH, University of Ballarat).
