Description

On 2nd June 2025, we held this memorial lecture in honour of Emeritus Professor Chris Hookway, who sadly died in October 2024

Cheryl Misak (University of Toronto) and Robert B.Talisse (Vanderbilt University) presented their co-authored paper, "Pragmatism, Truth and Politics", followed by a lively discussion and a drinks reception. It was a wonderful occasion, attended by many of Chris's former students, colleagues and friends, as well as current students and staff and visitors.

The lecture was kindly sponsored by The Charles Peirce Society.

A recording of the lecture is available here and you can follow along with the slides, available here, with a yellow timestamp showing the time in the recording to which each slide corresponds.
