Reviving Rationalism. A Celebration of the Work of Keith Hossack
When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck Main Building, Malet Street
No booking required
Keith's work is systematic and wide ranging. It covers topics including: epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of action, philosophy of logic, philosophy of consciousness and personal identity. Furthermore, it is historically grounded both in the roots of the analytic tradition, in particular Frege, Russell and Wittgenstein, together with its branches, in particular Quine and Lewis. His book 'The Metaphysics of Knowledge' brings these strands together, and he is now working on a book on mathematics.
