We will be holding an information session with a Q&A about Postgraduate study in Philosophy. The session is open for everyone, whether you are in your final year or not, and even if you have not given the possibility of PG study of Philosophy much thought. We will cover: Why postgraduate study in philosophy? What PG courses in Philosophy are available in the Department and what are the differences between them? We will also give some information on how to apply. There will be an opportunity to ask the PG course convenors questions, as well as to hear from and meet some of our existing PGT students.

A sandwich lunch will be provided.

Please come along even if you have not given PG study in Philosophy much thought yet. We will be able to give you some further information to help you to think about your options.

The first Philosophy Postgraduate Collaboration Day will be taking place in the Ramphal Building, R0.12 and R0.04, on Friday 27 May. This event has been organised to bring together all PGRs in the Department to share ideas, skills, and introduce research projects to each other. Any interested MAs can contact the organisation team to check about any available spaces.

Please contact Ahilleas Rokni for further information.

The work of Mark Eli Kalderon

Mark Eli Kalderon is professor of philosophy at UCL and former editor of the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society. While his most recent research has been focused on the metaphysics of sense and sensibilia, it draws upon – and has implications for – a breadth of philosophical approaches and topics, not least due to, for example, Prof Kalderon’s own interest in ancient and scholastic theories of perception. His books include Sympathy in Perception, Form without Matter: Empedocles and Aristotle on Color Perception, and Moral Fictionalism.​

In Prof Kalderon’s Sympathy in Perception, insights from ancient, phenomenological, analytic, and empirical sources are woven together into a rich and ambitious elaboration and defence of a naïve realist theory of perception. Kalderon develops the view by revisiting and transforming explanatory concepts from the pre-modern era, aiming to ‘contribute to, if not indeed effect, a Kuhnian revolution’ in philosophy of perception.

(Second instalment of the event series Philosophy Goes Architecture)

The campus of the University of Warwick comprises more than half a century of architectural history. Its buildings don’t just provide spaces to work, live, and study for more than 25,000 people. They tell a story about the place that Warwick wants to be, the place it used to be, and the place it used to want to be. The premise of the tour is that space shapes experience and thinking, which makes it worth investigating how campus as a topographical unit makes an imprint intellectual work, especially for philosophers.

The tour will be led by Sarah Shalgosky, who is the Principal Curator of the University of Warwick and an Associate Lecturer at Warwick's School of Creative Arts, Performance, and Visual Cultures. After the tour, there'll be drinks and snacks at the Department of Philosophy, just outside of S2.66.

To register, please send an email to simon.gansinger@warwick.ac.uk
