Special Event with Peter Lasersohn

UPDATE: Time Change! The event is now taking place from 12:30-3:30 on 2/27, in the Logan Center Room 028.

On February 27, 12:30-3:30 pm, the L&P workshop and the Research Initiative on Subjectivity in Language and Thought (co-sponsored by Chris Kennedy and Malte Willer and funded by the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society) will host a “Meet the Author” session with Peter Lasersohn (UIC), one of the leading contemporary thinkers on subjectivity. The session will be devoted to discussing his book manuscript “Subjectivity and Perspective in Truth-theoretic Semantics.” We will dive right into the discussion and so to benefit most from this session, participants are encouraged to look at the manuscript in advance, which is available upon request from Matt Teichman (teichman at uchicago dot edu). Since this work in progress, we ask that the manuscript not be cited or circulated.

On February 25, 3-6 pm, a session of Chris Kennedy’s winter seminar on Subjectivity (Rosenwald 208) will serve as a preparatory meeting in which some of the main ideas of the manuscript are explored in some detail. Those who are interested are welcome to join this session even if they are not regular attendants on the seminar (please email Chris Kennedy under ck at uchicago dot edu in advance so that we can make sure to have enough space).
