John Hawthorne to Speak at Boise State Hosted Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference

Rutgers University philosophy professor John Hawthorne will speak at 7 p.m. March 30 at the Cabin, 801 S. Capitol Blvd., as part of the 10th annual Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference hosted by Boise State University. Hawthorne’s lecture, “Science and Religion: A Philosopher’s View,” is free and open to the public, and a discussion period and reception will follow.

Hawthorne is considered one of the discipline’s pre-eminent scholars and is the author or co-author of more than six books from such publishers as Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. He has also published more than 50 articles in leading journals of professional philosophy.

Hawthorne has also accepted an appointment as the Waynflete Professor of Metaphysical Philosophy at Oxford University, a position previously held by philosophers such as R.G. Collingwood, Gilbert Ryle and P.F. Strawson.

Hawthorne’s appearance is made possible by the Idaho Humanities Council, The Cabin, the Boise Co-Op, the Boise State University College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Philosophy, the Boise State Foundation and the Boise State Philosophy Club.
