On Friday 9 May the Corpus Christi College Philosophy Society will hold its annual gathering for current and former Corpus philosophers. All who studied Philosophy or have an interest in the subject are welcome.
The programme will be as follows:
4:15pm - Afternoon Tea: A chance for you to talk to students in an informal setting. Students will welcome an opportunity to talk to alumni about their different career paths.
5.00pm - ‘Living with Reasons’: Talk delivered by Professor Jonathan Dancy (Classics, 1965). During this talk Professor Dancy will recount highlights from his impressive career and delve into the latest theories on the study of reasons, to which he has dedicated his academic life.
Having read Greats at Corpus and later completing his BPhil, Professor Dancy brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to share. His journey in academia began as a Lecturer at Keele in 1971, where he rose through the ranks, eventually being appointed to the Chair position. In 1996, he moved to Reading University, following a personal invitation from John Cottingham. After a decade at Reading, he accepted a position at the University of Texas at Austin, where he remained until his retirement in 2022. Professor Dancy continues to visit the University of Texas and teach short graduate courses. In recognition of his significant contributions to his field, he was elected an Honorary Fellow at Corpus in 2014 and Fellow of the British Academy in 2016.
