The Friday Colloquium is sponsored by the Philosophy Department.
All lectures are free and open to the public.
This series of lectures offers a forum for discussion of work in progress as well as of research that is ready for publication. The wide ranging topics of colloquia are principally in the areas of the philosophy of the natural and social sciences, logic, mathematics, and the history and social dimension of science. This series of lectures is sponsored by a consortium of which the Boston University Philosophy Department is an active member. Lectures and seminars on topics and figures in ancient philosophy are held every year at various local universities, including Boston University. A number of reading groups are conducted throughout the academic year.
