Philosophy Extravaganza “What is Identity?”

Date: March 17 2011, 6:00pm Location: Miller 105

This year, the Philosophy Extravaganza has chosen as its topic, “What is Identity?” The debate about identity has puzzled philosophers since the time of the ancient Greeks. Many philosophers are particularly interested in the subject of personal identity over time, but others are interested in identity generally, the criterion of identity, and the logic of identity. Certainly, philosophy is not the only discipline that encounters these questions. We would like to explore these deep issues of identity with an interdisciplinary discussion featuring: Ben David (Art History), Iva Stavrov (Math), John Holzwarth (Political Science), and Eddie Cushman (Philosophy).
