First
Conference and Annual General Meeting
The first annual conference of the CSPP will be
held on October 30, 1999 at the University of Guelph, Ontario, under
the auspices of the annual congress of the Ontario Philosophical Society.
The Annual General Meeting of the Society will be held on the same day
at the conclusion of the CSPP conference, with final voting for the Executive
and announcements of the results followed by a meeting of those members of the
Board who are able to attend. Admission
to the Conference is free to the public as well as members, while the Society
business meeting will be open to all members.
Both sessions will be held in the same room on campus, to be announced.
Confirmation of the full agenda and times for presentations will soon
be posted to all members when finalized, as will details on the forthcoming
election period. Provisionally
included in the conference agenda, possibly to be
supplemented with additional presentations, are the following:
Dr. Stephen Hare “Pitfalls of Counselling for
the Philosopher”
Dr. Jon Mills
“In Search of a Method: New Directions in Philosophical
Counselling”
Dr. Mark Letteri “Thinking, Philosophical
Counseling, and the Purity of Philosophical Method”

the general public. For those interested, Mills invites inquiries at (416)
