The Australasian Society for Continental Philosophy presents its
annual interdisciplinary conference:


1999 - TO BE DONE WITH JUDGEMENT
ethics, aesthetics, etc.

27-29 AUGUST 1999
SYDNEY AUSTRALIA


with special guests:
ALAIN BADIOU
(University of Paris VIII - Vincennes at Saint-Denis)
and STEVEN SHAVIRO
(Washington State University)

and a Round Table reflecting on the history of
continental philosophy in Australasia


The ASCP invites all those working in the field of continental
philosophy to participate in this annual forum.
The year 1999 calls up a time of 'judgement',
a time also no doubt for its critique.
'Judgement' is a word that in its passage across different contexts
conveys gestures as disparate as the strike of a gavel and the stroke of

a paintbrush,
a hinge between the past and the future.
With the visit of Derrida to Australia, it seems also to be a good
moment to reflect on and judge the particular evolution of continental
philosophy in this End of the World.
