William James and Radical Empiricism, 1904-2004. Sponsored by Centre d'Etudes sur le Pragmatisme et la Philosophie Analytique. Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, 25-27 November 2004. On the centenary of most of the Essays in Radical Empiricism, we are planning an International Conference on that topic at La Sorbonne, featuring most of the major European and American scholars, and we would be very glad if you could take part to this event. The Conference is focusing on the Essays themselves. The Scientific Committee of the Conference includes Professors Charlene Seigfried (Purdue), Timothy Sprigge (Edinburgh), Christiane Chauviré (Paris 1), David Lapoujade (Paris 1), and Michel Weber (Louvain). The Conference will take place the 25th - 27th of November, 2004, and will be organized to debate all the significant themes treated in the Essays (Experience and Relations , James' Realism, Radical Empiricism and James' Psychology, & more). Special workshops  will especially welcome European William James Society members.  The Seminar series we have been running for four years, on Pragmatism and  American Philosophy, focused so far on classical and contemporary pragmatists, and in recent past we have welcomed lectures by C. Hookway, R. Rorty, B. Brandom, J. Margolis, and many others.
