The British Undergraduate Philosophy Society is very happy to

widely known for his work on various areas of language and  
epistemology, specifically on the issue of vagueness.

You will have the opportunity to hear and discuss a cross section of  
undergraduate papers on a variety of topics, selected for their  
academic excellence and clarity by professional philosophers, as well  
as elect the next society chair during the AGM. The conference is non- 
profit-making: the cost of registration for the conference and  
refreshments is 8 UKP. Registration will be possible on the day,  
subject to availability of seats.
