The costs for the conference are as follows: £32 per delegate per day of the

conference dinner. The dinner is on Friday the 24th June 7pm at Zizzi
Restaurant, St Andrews. The cost per head is £26 (which includes 3 courses and
wine and coffee).
There is a space on the online shop where you can make note of any special

Conference Theme
It has become increasingly popular to claim that the subject matter of
philosophy is neither linguistic nor conceptual. In this sense, it has been
suggested that the so-called "linguistic turn" was a mistake and the target of
philosophy properly conceived is nonconceptual and nonlinguistic (e.g.,
Williamson, The Philosophy of Philosophy). Despite this, philosophers still
routinely appeal to ordinary linguistic use and linguistic theory in
constructing and criticising philosophical theories. The contrast between the
alleged target of philosophy and continued reliance on linguistic information
in
solving philosophical questions raises a number of issues which are the focus
of
this conference.
