Colloquium 2009: Crisis of Meaning |
A Day of Philo-Sophia: Crisis of Meaning
In order to encourage students' participation in the Colloquium, we will invite students to think about questions related to the themes of the Colloquium, write them down and put them into a question box. At the conclusion of the Colloquium, Panel members will address individual questions and discuss them with the audience.

Brian Hill Lecture Theatre: 9.00 - 17.00
27 November, 2009
The Murdoch Philosophy Program, in conjunction the Krishna Somers Foundation for Diaspora Studies, the Murdoch School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Faculty of Arts and Education, are proud to host the Philosophy Colloquium in 2009.
In choosing Crisis of Meaning as the theme of this year’s Colloquium, we hope to encourage contributions from a range of disciplines that consider philosophical questions relating to the nature of meaning and truth, and their significance in human lives.
The Colloquium will be held at Murdoch University on Friday, 27 November and is open to academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students. Papers are refereed, and a certificate will be awarded for the best student paper.
Once again, our goal is to provide a forum for the vital exchange of ideas in a supportive, collegial atmosphere, as well as to foster ties between philosophy departments, staff and students. It is our hope that this year we can continue to build upon the achievements of previous Colloquia by engaging in an ongoing philosophical conversation within the wider philosophy community.

The Krishna Somers Foundation for Diaspora Studies
The Centre for Applied Ethics at Curtin University of Technology
The Research Ethics Office at Murdoch University
