THE INLAND NORTHWEST PHILOSOPHY CONFERENCE

The INPC is a topic-focused, interdisciplinary conference on philosophical themes, co-sponsored by the Philosophy Departments at the University of Idaho and Washington State University. The 13th meeting will focus on two core topics in semantics, reference and referring, as investigated by philosophers, linguists, and psychologists, among others.

I. CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION

The Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference (INPC) is a topic-focused conference that brings together those from the humanities and beyond who are interested in the philosophical investigation of key areas of thought. The 13th edition is being planned by Bill Kabasenche, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Washington State University, and Michael O'Rourke, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Idaho. Joseph Keim Campbell, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Washington State University, is Executive Director of the INPC.

II. MISSION AND GOALS

The general mission of the INPC is to provide a forum for public discussion of classically philosophical topics. Our conference is intended to facilitate research on such topics, to illustrate to non-philosophers the importance and pervasiveness of philosophy in our daily lives, and to help improve the intellectual atmosphere of the Moscow/Pullman community. The general goal of the INPC is to encourage philosophical interaction on a variety of different levels between philosophers and non-philosophers, teachers and students, academics and lay-persons. To achieve this goal, we encourage interdisciplinary involvement in the conference.

III. LOCATION

The University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, and Washington State University in Pullman Washington. These campuses are only 8 miles apart. Transportation will be provided to and from conference venues.

INPC Executive Director is Joseph Keim Campbell, Professor of Philosophy at Washington State University. Co-Directors of the current meeting are Michael O'Rourke and Bill Kabasenche, Professors of Philosophy at the University of Idaho and Washington State University.
