Faculty will address major conceptual issues and facilitate working groups. Readings will include selections from imaginative literature and scholarly investigations in philosophy and social sciences. The 24th Conference on Value Inquiry will be held at D'Youville College, April 18-20, 1996. Broad participation is sought. Papers and abstracts of papers that address issues concerning inherent and instrumental values are welcome.
Early submission is advised.
Papers may be practically or theoretically oriented. Treatment of the topic may be disciplinary and address arguments within a single field of value inquiry such as ethics, law, politics, aesthetics, health care, business, or education. Papers may also be interdisciplinary and examine inherent and instrumental values from two or more fields of inquiry. A selection of papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication. A conference honoring University at Buffalo English Professor Leslie Fiedler will be held at Northern Illinois University, March 29-31.
