Chalmers zombie picture

Here is Chalmers zombie picture, sitting in Koeln Biergarten vis-a-vis Matjaz Potrc, and drinking what? -- beer.

Summer 2011 continued



After Bled, Milano and Koeln conferences with Terry, I then joined a Wuerzburg EU-India gathering, where I was invited as alumni. After that, I visited Pavia conference on deontic matters where I successfully presented my paper written for that occasion. Finally, I was in Boulder Colorado for a couple of weeks, at the 2011 RoME conference, as the only European participant that was selected for presentation at this prestigious gathering of ethicists. My and Vojko's paper on moral particularism and basic-derived reasons pluralistic Rossian approach that we propose was well accepted by the audience, and especially interesting was the follow-up discussion with McNaughton and Rawling (by the way, I also chaired their paper where Alastair Norcross was a commentator). It was a pleasure to visit Boulder again, where this time I even tried out some mountain hike.

Wrapping it up

End of May and beginning June 2011 there was a successful Bled conference on Virtue epistemology and understanding. I presented a paper with Terry Horgan. Henderson nicknamed Pencilneck was there as well. Some of the lectures should be published by Videoloectures by now (look for Potrc, Horgan, Dereta). Then Terry and myself went to the Milano San Raffaelle University where we presented our paper on Metaphysically lightweight posits to Searle, who enjoyed our performance very much. After that, we went to Koeln, to a conference on Epistemology of philosophy, where we met Chalmers and others. I stayed in Koeln with Uwe Peters.
