The aim of the Dutch Research Seminar for Analytic Philosophy is twofold:
1. First, to bring together Ph.D. students and post-doc researchers in analytic philosophy in order to let them take advantage of each other’s expertise concerning recent developments in metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, philosophy of science, logic, and philosophy of religion.
2. Second, to create and maintain academic relationships with leading analytic philosophers all over the world. In order to reach this goal, foreign scholars will be invited incidentally for lectures and small colloquia will be organized. The Dutch Research Seminar for Analytic Philosophy was first organized in October 2003.
Those participating in the seminar meet the second Tuesday of each month, except for July and August, from 2.15 – 5 p.m. in room 0.06 at Janskerkhof 13 in Utrecht (city center).
