I kicked off the conference with a paper Ted (Poston) and I wrote on the way back from an SCP meeting two years ago. It's a response to Sider's "Hell and Vagueness". Ted (Sider) was a very good sport about my teasing and we had some good go-rounds.
It's so awesome to meet some real sharp young philosophers of religion. Every conference I meet a few more and it's very encouraging.
Hung out with Dean Zimmerman until the wee hours at a local pub discussing mostly how vagueness affects persistence questions...look for some good stuff coming out in the next couple of years.
There are two more sessions tomorrow, but I know I won't have a chance to blog again until Monday or Tuesday. I hope to discuss the contents of a paper or two in a bit more detail.
I know that there is at least one reader of this blog that would like a detailed report if you are so willing when you get back. And I strongly doubt that the set in question is limited to just one member.
Trent,
I was there and wanted to talk to you but I had to go early. I also missed your presentation. But the talks that I came in for was good.
Trent, I would also love to hear more about it. My friend Andrew presented as well (in fact, I believed you guys shared a hotel room). My divine timelessness/A-Theory paper wasn't done yet, so I submitted a different paper, which was rejected. But I would have loved to go. Please let me live vicariously through you. :)
