British Society for the History of Philosophy Conference in association with the OU Research Group in Mind, Meaning and Rationality and supported by the British Academy and the Mind Association The Varieties of Analysis: Conceptions of Analysis in the History of Philosophy 30 March - 1 April 2005 St. Catherine's College, Oxford The main aim of this conference, with the centenary of Russell's 'On Denoting' in mind, is to reflect on the nature and origins of the analytic tradition as it emerged in the work of Frege, Russell, Moore and Wittgenstein - and in particular, on the conceptions of analysis that are involved. Appreciation of the significance of these conceptions, however, requires placing them in a broader historical context, and so a secondary aim of the conference is to explore the richness of conceptions of analysis in the history of philosophy generally. One central theme is the relationship between the analytic and phenomenological traditions. 1905 is also the anniversary of the first appearance of Husserl's 'transcendental reduction', and there are sessions on the methodological connections between these two traditions. Speakers include: Thomas Baldwin (York), Patrick Byrne (Boston College), Giuseppina D'Oro (Keele), Brigitte Falkenburg (Dortmund), Nicholas Griffin (McMaster), Leila Haaparanta (Tampere), Peter Hacker (Oxford), Robert Hanna (Colorado), Peter Hylton (Illinois), James Levine (Trinity College Dublin), Sandra Lapointe (Concordia), Bernard Linsky (Alberta), Dermot Moran (University College Dublin), Marco Panza (CNRS), Volker Peckhaus (Paderborn), Erich Reck (Riverside), Alan Richardson (British Columbia), Jamie Tappenden (Michigan), Amie Thomasson (Miami); and many others.
