Summer School 2016 with Nathan Salmon/Bamberg, Germany 

Host Institution: Universität Bamberg
Coordinating Institution: Universität Bamberg
Website: http://www.summerschool-bamberg.de

Dates: 14-Jul-2016 - 16-Jul-2016
Location: Bamberg, Germany

Focus: From July 14 until July 16, 2016, the University of Bamberg philosophy department hosts its third international Summer School in cooperation with the department for German linguistics at the University of Bamberg and the Forum Theoretical Philosophy. We are happy to announce that Nathan Salmon (UC Santa Barbara) will present and discuss his recent work in the philosophy of language.
Minimum Education Level: BA

Description:
Professor Salmon is one of the most distinguished scholars in contemporary
analytic philosophy. His work mainly focuses on reference theory and the
related problems of intensionality and the existence of fictional objects, but
he also made significant contributions to the on-going debates on the
distinction of pragmatics and semantics, identity theory and the renaissance
of Aristotelian essentialism in contemporary philosophy. Professor Salmon
studied with Alonzo Church, Keith Donnellan, David Kaplan and Saul Kripke
(among others), and is Distinguished Professor of philosophy at the University
of California, Santa Barbara where he has been teaching since 1984.

With our Summer School, we want to create an intensive philosophical
experience for young academics who want to discuss current issues in
philosophy of language and theoretical linguistics with one of the most
important experts in the field. There will be three days of high-level
discussion. Participants will receive a certificate listing the exact content
of the course which they might hand in for credit at their home universities.
