Covering topics around 'individuated' events, process, boundary-maintenance, humanity and animality, and mutation, this workshop will seek fresh views around Darwinism and evolution.

We will avoid its frequent appropriation by a (conservative) functionalism and promote a re-thinking of the logic and dynamics of processes. We thus address Darwin's thought at the level of epistemology and philosophical ethics, focussing on the logic of process, the duality being and becoming, the possibility of communication across boundaries, and in terms of ethics, the difficult questions of reciprocity and interdependence.

Confirmed participants include: Barbara Maria Stafford (Chicago), Gillian Beer (Cambridge), Carrol Clarkson (Cape Town), Monica-Judith Sanchez-Flores (Mexico), Johan van der Walt (Glasgow), Hans Lindahl (Tilburg), Bert van Roermund (Tilburg), Scott Veitch (Glasgow), Bergit Arends (Natural History Museum), Sian Ede (Gulbenkian Foundation).
