Pacific APA: 19-23 March 2008
The main program for the 2008 Pacific APA is available online here. The group program is here.
It seems to me to be a very strong conference for political philosophy. I’ll be chairing a paper on public reason (i.e. Rawlsian public reason, not this place), and there are also sessions on the philosophy of race, philosophy of law, environmentalism, Mill, political values, public policy and individual rights, justice and international relations, terrorism and torture, consent in law, retributive justice, state legitimacy, women and Islam, human rights, classical liberal theory, as well as sessions on David Wong’s Natural Moralities, James Nickel’s Making Sense of Human Rights, Bob Talisse’s A Pragmatist Philosophy of Democracy, and Tommie Shelby’s We Who are Dark. It seems there will also be some hard decisions to make in cases of conflict.
The hotel reservation form is here.

Perhaps there’s time in our schedules for an informal meet-up– in the hotel bar, perhaps– of those involved with Public Reason? I know many of the people here by name only. Might be fun to chat in person over a beer.

That sounds like a plan. There will be quite a few Public Reason people in Pasadena. I won’t be in Baltimore for the Eastern, but maybe other people will want to make similar plans for that, and could use this thread accordingly.
