Kierkegaard Conference to be held March 1-3

glasses photoInternational scholars and authors will take part in the Kierkegaard Conference March 1-3 in the Maxwell Performing Arts Center. Ten speakers will make presentations on various aspects of Kierkegaard's writings, particularly his Either/Or. A late change in the program has John Llewelyn, one of the world's most highly regarded philosophers, making a presentation on March 2 at 2:30 p.m., instead of the previously announced speaker, Pat Bigelow. Dr. Llewelyn is an author and former professor at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He has authored several philosophy books, the most recent being The Hypocritical Imagination: Between Kant and Levinas. The book on philosophical imagination is considered among the best and most original work being done within the European philosophical tradition. Other conference speakers include John D. Caputo, the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy at Villanova University; Roger Poole, University of Nottingham; David Wood, Vanderbilt University; Elsebet Jegstrup, Augusta State University; Joakim Garff, Soren Kierkegaard Research Center, Copenhagen; Mark Dooley, University College-Dublin; Robert Gibbs, University of Toronto; Vanessa Rumble, Boston College; and Richard Kearney, Boston College. Faculty, staff, and students may attend the conference for free. Contact the conference coordinator, Dr. Elsebet Jegstrup, for schedule information.
