It has a good chance to become an annual meeting. We need good candidates and would be very grateful if you could to convey information about the meeting to those who are interested in the theory of knowledge (Ph.D. students and young scholars, in particular) and to encourage them to apply to the School. The information about the School is put below and (more detailed) in the attached file. It is also available at our web-page: http://hektor.umcs.lublin.pl/~zlimn/school We would be also obliged for any further suggestions, addresses and contacts. Please accept in advance my apologies for any inconvenience that my request may have brought about. Faithfully yours Anna Szczesna (Organizing Committee) SECOND SCHOOL FOR THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE TIME AND PLACE: Madralin (near Warsaw), Poland, 10- 19 August 1999. It will end just before the Cracow Congress for Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science. PROGRAM: The main courses are going to be: (1) Dagfinn Follesdal "Meaning and Experience"; (2) Gurol Irzik "Kuhn's Linguistic Turn and Its Significance for Philosophy of Science"; (3) Sten Lindstrom "Dynamic of Belief" (4) Ernest Sosa "Contextualism and Naturalism in Epistemology"; CONDITIONS (They do NOT apply to invited speakers whose expenses are covered by organizers): 1. The cost of participation is 500 USD = the participation fee (100 USD - not refundable) + the accommodation charge (400 USD). However we expect that we should be able to pay 100 USD for some contributions, which would cover 100 USD fee. 2. There are 10 stipends (which can be divided into partial ones) but ONLY for participants from the former so-called "socialist countries). We (reasonably!) hope that the number of the stipends will be increased. DEADLINE: April 30, 1999. E-MAIL CONTACTS: caracol1(a)psk2.am.lodz.pl; fishy(a)ramzes.umcs.lublin.pl; jacekm(a)cc.uni.torun.pl
