EPISTEME IV, the fourth annual conference attached to EPISTEME: A Journal of Social Epistemology, took place this past week. The conference’s theme: testimony. Jennifer Lackey put together a superb program comprising some seasoned veterans and some very talented youngsters. We were sorry that Linda Zagzebski couldn’t make it – there were flight delays due to severe weather conditions. Roger Koppl very kindly stepped in at short notice to complete the program.
Our thanks to all those who attended – the speakers’ intellectual mettle was tested by a very engaged audience. Thanks also to Alvin Goldman, Jennifer Lackey and Dennis Whitcomb for making this such a pleasant experience and for being such gracious hosts. Last, but by no means least, thanks to those who chaired each session.
Next year’s conference will take place at Dartmouth and hosted by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, the theme will be Evidence and the Law.
