Set theory ontology and the philosophy of the event marks a recent and innovative means through which ‘Continental’ and ‘Analytic’ philosophical currents can construct a dialogue between their disparate perspectives. Such debates and developments have been influential in Continental philosophy for over two decades, yet have seen little impact upon the Anglophone philosophical community. In recent years, there has been an intensification in the curiosity of Anglophone philosophers working within the Continental tradition. In 2012 the Badiou Studies journal was established as an English-language forum to facilitate these debates and create a presence within the Anglophone philosophical world. However, despite the philosophy’s suitability for cross-traditional discussion and the journal’s attempts to harbour this, the impact has remained largely within the remit of pre-existing Anglophone continental philosophers, whilst the Analytic community’s engagement with Badiou has been minor.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
The second BPPA Masterclass of 2015 will bring together researchers with an interest in all areas of Badiou’s philosophy in order to appraise its relevance to contemporary philosophy. As set theory and its immediate ontological ramifications forms the core of Badiou’s philosophical approach, the masterclass will be primarily focused on this in order to be approachable to those without sufficient previous engagement with Badiou. The masterclass committee welcomes applications from postgraduate and early career researchers from all areas of philosophy who have an interest in learning about set theory ontology as well as those who wish to develop upon their knowledge. Up to fourteen free places are available.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Masterclass Description:<br />Set theory ontology and the philosophy of the event marks a recent and innovative means through which ‘Continental’ and ‘Analytic’ philosophical currents can construct a dialogue between their disparate perspectives. Such debates and developments have been influential in Continental philosophy for over two decades, yet have seen little impact upon the Anglophone philosophical community. In recent years, there has been an intensification in the curiosity of Anglophone philosophers working within the Continental tradition. In 2012 the Badiou Studies journal was established as an English-language forum to facilitate these debates and create a presence within the Anglophone philosophical world. However, despite the philosophy’s suitability for cross-traditional discussion and the journal’s attempts to harbour this, the impact has remained largely within the remit of pre-existing Anglophone continental philosophers, whilst the Analytic community’s engagement with Badiou has been minor.<br /><br />The second BPPA Masterclass of 2015 will bring together researchers with an interest in all areas of Badiou’s philosophy in order to appraise its relevance to contemporary philosophy. As set theory and its immediate ontological ramifications forms the core of Badiou’s philosophical approach, the masterclass will be primarily focused on this in order to be approachable to those without sufficient previous engagement with Badiou. The masterclass committee welcomes applications from postgraduate and early career researchers from all areas of philosophy who have an interest in learning about set theory ontology as well as those who wish to develop upon their knowledge.

theory ontology and the philosophy of the event marks a recent and
innovative means through which ‘Continental’ and ‘Analytic’
philosophical currents can construct a dialogue between their disparate
perspectives. Such debates and developments have been influential in
Continental philosophy for over two decades, yet have seen little impact

cross-traditional discussion and the journal’s attempts to harbour this,
the impact has remained largely within the remit of pre-existing
Anglophone continental philosophers, whilst the Analytic community’s
engagement with Badiou has been minor.<br /><br />The second BPPA
Masterclass of 2015 will bring together researchers with an interest in
all areas of Badiou’s philosophy in order to appraise its relevance to
contemporary philosophy. As set theory and its immediate ontological
ramifications forms the core of Badiou’s philosophical approach, the
masterclass will be primarily focused on this in order to be
approachable to those without sufficient previous engagement with
Badiou. The masterclass committee welcomes applications from
postgraduate and early career researchers from all areas of philosophy
who have an interest in learning about set theory ontology as well as
those who wish to develop upon their knowledge. Up to fourteen free
places are available.<br /><br />The aims of the masterclass are threefold:<br /><br />Principally,
the two day event aims to encourage interest in Badiouian ontology
within the next generation of British Analytic philosophers with a view
to establishing a constructive dialogue between the two philosophical
communities. This conference will, therefore, be organized in a
masterclass structure in order that it may be accessible to all
postgraduate-level philosophy students.<br /><br />The conference will begin
with talks from Oliver Feltham (the English language translator of
Badiou’s Being and Event) and Anindya Bhattacharyya who will work
closely with the participants in the form of open-lectures. These
open-lectures will provide contextual information and explanations of
principles which underlie Badiou’s ontology, such as set theory,
category theory and Heyting theory. These lecture sessions will
reinforce and develop the knowledge – gained from the participants’
preparatory reading – to the level of proficiency required to understand
the later speakers and participants’ papers as well as take part in the
debate.<br /><br />The secondary aim of the conference is to facilitate and
assist those participants with pre-existing knowledge of set theory
ontology in deepening their engagement with Badiou through exploring the
nuances and implications of his philosophical approach. The second day
of the masterclass will, therefore, focus on critical engagements with
Badiou as well as discussion linking his philosophy with other French
thinkers. Andrew Gibson and John McSweeney will present open-lectures on
the instability of Badiou’s ontology and its relation to political
subjectivity, respectively.<br /><br />The third conference aim is to
establish a setting for those participants with an existing engagement
with Badiou to discuss their own readings and criticisms of Badiou’s
ontology amongst other engaged postgraduate students as well as the
‘masters’ of the field. Sessions of participant papers will, therefore,
be interspersed between the main speaker sessions so that a select
number of participants – eight or so - will be able to present short
papers on various elements of Badiou’s ontology. Accepted papers will be
submitted for a special addition of Badiou Studies in Autumn 2016
(subject to double-blind peer review).<br /><br />Application Process:<br />The
organising committee welcomes applications from postgraduate students
and early career researchers from all areas of philosophy with an
interest in Badiouian ontology and set theory. Please submit a two-page
academic C.V. and a single-sided statement of interest to Ruthie Miller –
R.H.Miller@liverpool.ac.uk – by 9 a.m. on Monday 23rd March 2015.
Please be sure to include details of: previous engagement with set
theory ontology and/or the philosophy of the event, details of why you
feel you would benefit from attending the masterclass, as well as an
outline of the proposed participant’s paper. Abstracts will be requested
subsequent to acceptance onto the masterclass. Participants will be
