Call for Papers: "Metaphysics: Old and New"

March 12-13, 2010
Wake Forest University
Winston, Salem

The theme of this conference is the relation of metaphysics to its history.  Relevant topics abound.  For example, should metaphysicians look to historical figures for guidance or inspiration?  Perhaps advances in science make earlier thinkers obsolete.  Are Christian metaphysicians likely to profit from more attention to history? Do Christians have more motivation (or less?) than non-Christians for turning to historical figures? Plenary speakers and commentators include: Kathrin Koslicki (Colorado), E.J. Lowe (Durham), Jeffrey Brower (Purdue), Hud Hudson (Western Washington), Samuel Newlands (Notre Dame), and Robert M. Adams (North Carolina, Chapel Hill).
