PERSP Workshop on the As and Bs in the Philosophy of Time


Barcelona 19-20 Sept 2013 
at Residència d'Investigadors (Hospital 64)


Organized by Dan López de Sa (UB) & Stephan Torre (Aberdeen)
Sponsored by PERSP (workpackages B1 & S1) & Universitat de Barcelona

Themes:

-How exactly should the debate between A-theorists and B-theorists be characterized?
-Is there genuine disagreement between A-theorists and B-theorists?
-If so, what is the source of the disagreement?
-What connection, if any, exists between the temporalism/eternalism debate for propositions and the A theory and the B-theory?
-What role does the notion of temporal passage play in the debate between the two theories?
The workshop will have a 'read-ahead' format: papers will not be presented in the sessions but instead they will be made available to registered participants to read ahead of time. Each session will be dedicated to a presentation from the commentator, a brief reply by the speaker, and the bulk of the time will be allotted for discussion. 
Confirmed invited speakers include:
Fabrice Correia (Neuchâtel) & Sven Rosenkranz (ICREA-UB) 
Natalja Deng (Geneva) 
Ned Markosian (Western Washington)
Josh Parsons (Oxford)
Oliver Pooley (Oxford)
Meghan Sullivan (Notre Dame)
