    *THEME 2 - IS PHILOSOPHY DEAD?

    Recently, some scientists and philosophers have argued that
    philosophy is dead - or at least on the way out - given recent
    scientific advances. Are they right?
    **
    TIME TO COOPERATE*
    Our speaker, *Dominic Murphy, *will argue**will argue that one
    version of philosophy is dead - the kind of conceptual analysis
    predominant in the English-speaking world. But approaches in which
    philosophy co-operates with other forms of inquiry to understand the
    human and natural world are thriving.**
