The 2018 LAS Interdisciplinary Conference "Enlightenment 2.0 - What's Old is New Again" is scheduled for October 12 and 13, 2018 at the North Campus.

The Enlightenment represents a radical shift in thinking, from orthodoxy to empiricism, and from acceptance of doctrine, to the emergence of thought based on reason and philosophy. Does the spirit of the Enlightenment provide some guidance for us in terms of how best to navigate our current state of being? What would Enlightenment 2.0 look like?

The keynote speaker is Professor Joseph Heath from the Philosophy department of University of Toronto. Please submit abstracts of 100 to 250 words to lasconference@humber.ca by June 10. Select papers will be published in an edited volume. For more information visit liberalarts.humber.ca/about/conferences-lectures/conference.html
