9-10 April 2013
University of Gloucestershire, Oxstalls Campus, Gloucester, GL2 9HW
Philosophy at Play is a two-day academic conference focusing on philosophical aspects of play.
Following on from a successful inaugural Philosophy at Play conference (April 2011), a second conference is being held at the University of Gloucestershire on Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 April 2013.
"Philosophy at play?"
Play, players, and being at, in or out of play, have been concepts for philosophical debate in the ancient, modern and contemporary eras. The significance of play within ethical, existential and metaphysical philosophies is well-established, yet rarely are the names or work of key thinkers evident in policy or practitioner discussions about play.
The event aims to build disciplinary and paradigmatic bridges between scholars of philosophy and scholars of play, particularly children’s play.
We have received an excellent selection of over 40 proposals for papers to be presented at the conference, from practitioners and scholars from Scandinavia, the USA, Colombia, Germany, France and England. Further details of confirmed speakers and a conference timetable will be announced at a later date.
