"Neglected papers" seminar at Oxford

Anil Gomes (Oxford) writes:

Further to your current discussion on underappreciated philosophers, I wonder whether you and your readers would be interested in a neglected papers seminar that I'll be organising in Oxford this coming term. Each session members of the Faculty will draw attention to some interesting philosophy papers which they think should be better known. (The inspiration is a wasted youth spent hunting for rare records.) The papers may range from less well-known papers by famous philosophers (David Lews B-sides); interesting work by people who were once important but have now been forgotten or simply really good papers to which people haven't paid much attention. The hope is to be introduced to some
good and interesting work which one might not know about – and to find out what one's colleagues think is worth reading.

This term the speakers are: Terry Irwin, Lizzie Fricker, Roger Crisp and Cian Dorr. A website with details of the papers to be discussed will go up sometime before term starts.  Roger has already fixed on his paper: he'll be talking about Don Locke's 'The Trivializability of Universalizability', Philosophical Review (1968).

Visitors to Oxford are very welcome to attend (or, indeed, to present in future terms). Anyone who wants further information should feel free to contact me . I hope it will be a fun and interesting series of talks!

ADDENDUM: Philosopher David Morrow (Alabama/Birmingham) points out that the journal Philosophical Papers has a regular feature ("Re-Readings") devoted to discussing neglected articles and books.
