GRADUATE
CONFERENCE
21 & 22 March 1997

=B3Who's Next? Philosophy at the Close of the Millennium=B2

***************************

For philosophers currently being trained in what has come to be known in the English speaking world as =B3Continental Philosophy,=B2 the generation of philosophers who defined the limits of their discipline have begun to recede from the scene, leaving in thei
r wake both the pronouncement of the end of Western ontology as well as the demand for a renewal of philosophic thought. Given the spirit of the time, we ask: Will philosophy respond with something like a fin de millénium jouissance, or will it dissolve i
nto nothingness in the year of the dreaded double zero?
