Speaker:

  • Rebecca Tuvel, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Rhodes College
  • Diarmuid Costello, Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick

ERRATA NOTICE: Professor Zack states that Adrian Piper moved to Berlin in 2006. She moved there in 2005. Professor Zack also states several times that she is the only person of color on any of the panels. This is false. Professor Costello states that no one reads Adrian Piper’s two-volume work, Rationality and the Structure of the Self, Volume I: The Humean Conception and Volume II: A Kantian Conception. Since online publication of the first edition in 2008, these two books have consistently received more hits than any other pages at the APRA website, even at the peak of publicity for the MoMA retrospective. An online symposium with comments by the two leading philosophers in the fields of Kant scholarship and decision theory respectively appeared in October 2018.
