| Conference Co-Directors: Dorothy Coleman (College of William and Mary, USA) James Dye (Northern Illinois University, USA) Tito Magri (University of Rome, Italy) Adam Potkay (College of William and Mary, USA) The title of the conference is a "A Feast of Reason", Hume's expression for peaceable conversation among friends with whom he can "try the justness of every reflection, whether gay or serious, that may occur." In keeping with the spirit of the feast, papers on any aspect of Hume's life and works will be considered for the program. However, the conference directors especially welcome submissions on Hume's views concerning the relation between reason and one of the the following topics: Rhetoric, Representations, Religion, and Revolution The Hume Society has set aside up to $1000 for the support of graduate students reading papers. These funds will be given at the discretion of the conference co-directors to those whose papers are accepted through the normal refereeing process. This
announcement and call for papers above can be accessed through the Society's home page on
