Philosophy Discussion Club
During the semester, the Philosophy Department Discussion Club meets approximately once every two weeks to hear and discuss a paper. Typically, a visitor will present a paper on which a member of the department will provide comments before the floor is opened for general discussion. Papers may also be presented by members of the Discussion Club, whose membership includes the graduate students and faculty in philosophy, undergraduate majors, and interested faculty in other fields. The Discussion Club provides a regular opportunity for its members to learn of each others' and their visitors' work, to become acquainted with a great variety of philosophical issues, and to experience the give and take of informal discussion. Graduate student members are expected to participate and are encouraged to present papers. Those who wish to be added to the Discussion Club email list should contact the Discussion Club Coordinator: Matti Eklund.
Department Workshop
Most weeks during the semester a member of the department, either a faculty member, visitor, or graduate student, presents a paper on their current research. Please e-mail any questions about the workshop to its coordinator, Nicholas Silins.
Ancient Philosophy Speaker Series
Every year, we bring speakers, often from overseas, to speak on topics in ancient philosophy. Each visitor normally spends a few days at Cornell, giving talks and meeting informally with interested faculty and students. Some talks are of special interest to a philosophical audience; others are particularly relevant for specialists in ancient philosophy and classics. Usually, two speakers come each year, and each speaker gives two talks. In the past few years some of the leading contemporary scholars in ancient philosophy have visted us. Recent speakers have included Myles Burnyeat, David Sedley, Gisela Striker, Julia Annas, Richard Kraut, S.Marc Cohen, Nicholas White, Lesley Brown, David Charles, Brad Inwood, and Dominic Scott.
