The workshop is on Amie Thomasson's forthcoming book, Rethinking Metaphysics, which challenges the Quinean approaches to metaphysics that have predominated in the latter half of the 20th and 21st centuries and proposes instead an approach that foregrounds the techniques and methods of conceptual engineering. The workshop will consist of four 75-minute sessions, with each session devoted to a part of Thomasson's book. Each of the sessions will begin with a brief synopsis of the relevant chapters and critical remarks from a commentator, followed by a response from Thomasson. The remaining time will then be devoted to discussion. The schedule is as follows: 10:00–10:15 AM: Précis by Amie Thomasson 10:15–11:30 AM: Session 1 on chs. 1–3, led by Alice van't Hoff 11:30–11:45 AM: Coffee break 11:45 AM–1:00 PM: Session 2 on chs. 4–5, led by Emilie Pagano 1:00–2:00 PM: Lunch break 2:00–3:15 PM: Session 3 on chs. 6–7, led by Matthew Simpson 3:15–3:30 PM: Coffee break 3:30–4:45 PM: Session 4 on chs. 8–10, led by Viktoria Knoll 4:45 PM: Concluding Remarks by Tim Crane, followed by Reception Visitor Access If you are not affiliated with CEU, you will need to obtain a visitor card to gain entry to the campus.
