***THIS WEEKEND***<\/div>\n
***PLEASE COME****<\/div>\n
Dear All,<\/div>\n
Just to let you know about a conference on French Philosophy that’s happening in London on September 8th 2018. It’s being organised by the\u00a0Philosophical Society of England<\/a>, a society devoted to bringing philosophy to an audience beyond the walls of the University,\u00a0and\u00a0Newcastle University<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The idea, in this case, is to introduce members of the public (and, of course, this includes students and anyone else who is interested) to a certain tradition in philosophy that they might not otherwise have had a chance to encounter, so the talks will aim to be very accessible, and to introduce certain strands and thinkers within the French tradition.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Please contact the organiser,\u00a0Michael Bavidge<\/a>, to register your interest in attending. Details follow:<\/div>\n
