Buddhism and Philosophy: A Workshop with Professor Jay L Garfield

When: 9.30am-5.00pm, 10 August
Where: Deakin Downtown, Level 12 Tower 2, 727 Collins St, Melbourne

In this day-long workshop, Deakin philosophers and invited speakers respond to this and other philosophical themes from the book. Themes covered include: ethics, phenomenology, meditation, self, personal identity and comparisons and juxtapositions drawn from philosophers Wilfrid Sellars and David Hume.

Jay Garfield (Smith College)
Shaun Nichols (University of Arizona)
Monima Chadha (Monash University)
Sonam Thakchoe (University of Tasmania)
John Powers (Deakin University)
