3rd Biennial Margaret Dauler Wilson Conference 2006
University of California, San Diego
June 21-23, 2006
The Margaret Dauler Wilson Conference is
a biennial gathering that
aims to foster philosophical interaction on topics of interest
to Margaret Wilson, a much-admired scholar and teacher, who
was professor of philosophy at Princeton University from 1970
until her early
death in 1998. The primary focus of the conference is the history
of early modern philosophy (17th-18th centuries), the main area of
Margaret Wilson's
research, but contributions are also encouraged on other topics in
which
she had strong interests, such as the philosophy of mind and
ethics. This year's conference follows earlier meetings in
Flagstaff, AZ (2002) and Grafton, VT (2004).
