Invitation to participate in the

International Berkeley Conference

at the Redwood Library in Newport, Rhode Island

26-28 June 2008

The International Berkeley Society will sponsor a conference on Berkeley’s life and thought at the Redwood Library in Newport, Rhode Island on 26-28 June 2008. The conference will feature presentations on various aspects of Berkeley's philosophy, as well as a reception at his home (Whitehall) and visits to places of interest such as Trinity Church (where Berkeley preached). Newport is especially active in the summer, and accommodations are usually very expensive. The conference organizers, however, have arranged for special rates at several bed-and-breakfast places near the Redwood so that participants and their families can enjoy this historic city and its attractions. To submit a proposal for inclusion on the program or for more information, contact Steve Daniel (sdaniel@philosophy.tamu.edu).
