Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 APPC will be conducted online via Zoom. We decided that this would be the best way of ensuring that many people can participate without compromising public health. The conference environment is laid back and is a great introduction to conferences for new graduate students. We encourage and welcome submissions from postgraduate philosophy students at all levels. Any interested persons are welcome to attend. The call for papers is now open; and will close on 31 July 2020. If you are interested in attending or submitting an abstract, please do so via the form on our website at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/QgICCQnMBZf3QKoJcxwFgp?domain=appc2020.net. If you have any questions, please contact the Convenor of the Postgraduate Committee at danny.wardle at adelaide.edu.au. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: From goetz.richter at sydney.edu.au Sun Apr 12 20:01:13 2020 From: goetz.richter at sydney.edu.au (Goetz Richter) Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2020 10:01:13 +0000 Subject: [SydPhil] Philosophy of Music Study Group Message-ID: For art has to leave reality, it has to raise itself bodily above necessity and neediness; for art is the daughter of freedom, and it requires its prescriptions and rules to be furnished by the necessity of spirits and not by that of matter. But in our day it is necessity, neediness, that prevails, and bends a degraded humanity under its iron yoke. Utility is the great idol of the time, to which all powers do homage and all subjects are subservient. In this great balance of utility, the spiritual service of art has no weight, and, deprived of all encouragement, it vanishes from the noisy Vanity Fair of our time. (F. Schiller. Letters on the Aesthetic Education). The Philosophy of Music Study Group (Sydney Conservatorium) meets next on April 23, 6pm on Zoom. In 2020 the discussion will focus on Beethoven and Philosophy. Semester 1 dates and topics are: April 23- Schiller, Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man (Text available https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/pdjwCZY1NqiDJ4wGhz4mfR?domain=sourcebooks.fordham.edu ) May 28 - F.

Schelling, Philosophy of Art (available as e Book from University of Sydney Library: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/j93cC1WLPxckVz0RiGlX6A?domain=sydney.primo.exlibrisgroup.com) June 11 - continue discussion of Schelling, Philosophy of Art Further inquiry Goetz Richter, goetz.richter at sydney.edu.au To register attendance: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/UMBsC2xMQziRMl4jsBcAoC?domain=eventbrite.com.au -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
