“Training the Impartial Spectator: Adam Smith and the Epistolary Novel “
Lauren Kopajtic
Fordham University
We have a fun (and free, as always) event tonight at 7:00 PM at Black Spring Books in Williamsburg! It’s a discussion of the life of the mind in fiction and philosophy with the philosopher Skye Cleary (How to Be Authentic), the novelist Christine Smallwood (The Life of the Mind), and the novelist-physician-neurologist Melodie Winawer (Anticipation). If you’re interested in what intellectual life means, the drama of ideas, and the relationship between philosophy and literature, this one’s for you. If you can’t make it in person, it will also be livestreamed here.
Philosophical Linguistics and Linguistical Philosophy (PhLiP) 8 will take place November 9-12, 2023 at the Tarrytown Estate in Westchester, NY.
