COLLOQUIA & CONFERENCES
20TH CENTURY PHILOSOPHERS I HAVE KNOWN
(OR AT LEAST SPOKEN WITH OR SEEN)
Rosamond Sprague
Department of Philosophy
USC Columbia
April 3, 2009
Friday, 4:00pm-5:30pm
Byrnes 413
This promises to be a very special event of oral history right here in our
Philosophy Department. Professor Sprague, who received her PhD in 1953 and
has been with our department since 1965, has offered to make an informal
presentation entitled "20th Century Philosophers I have Known (or at least
spoken with or seen)." The idea is for Professor Sprague to share stories
of her encounters with various philosophers over her long career, with a
focus on those who took part in the meetings of the Fullerton Club during
her days at Bryn Mawr. She asked that I not advertise the names of those
she'll be discussing she didn't want to spoil any surprises nor
raise any expectations but I will say that you have heard of (or
should have heard of) these people. This will be a relaxed gathering on
Friday, April 3rd, at 4:00pm. We'll have it in our conference room, Byrnes
413. There will be some food and some beverage and a rare opportunity to
hear about what some important philosophers were like in person.
