The Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference is sponsored
jointly with the Department of Philosophy at the University of Idaho,
8 miles away. It is an annual topic-focused conference held in the
spring and attracts leading philosophers from all over the world.
The conference is designed to encourage interdisciplinary cooperation
and communication on philosophical topics that relate to research
in a variety of domains.
Recent
INPC participants have included the following scholars, and many

Gardner, Keith Lehrer, Carl Ginet, Ted Honderich, John Perry, Robert
Kane, John Earman, Hud Hudson, John Martin Fischer, Ted Sider, Stephen
Schiffer, Rob Cummins, Ernie Lepore, Nathan Salmon, and Peter van

Special
student sessions are held each year, giving students the opportunity
to present their research to an audience including their peers as
well as professional philosophers working on that topic.
Also
held in conjunction with the conference is a public forum, aimed
at making current philosophical thinking accessible to a broader
university audience.
