With the end of the year approaching, the Department of Philosophy is pleased to share a few updates from our faculty members.

HSU Professor of Philosophy John Powell has 1) presented to the East-West Philosophers’ Conference in Hawaii in May, on the topic, “Theory as Authority” using just war theory and pacifism as material; 2) had his manuscript on “Definitions: What Plato Would Say in His Cups” accepted for a forthcoming issue of the journal Metaphilosophy; and 3) received notice that his paper, “Are Wittgenstein’s Pictures Psychology or Philosophy? (Hint: No)” delivered in Leipzig, Germany, for the conference Wittgenstein: Philosophie und Wissenschaft, will be published in a volume by that same title by Felix Meiner Verlag in spring 2012.
