Wittgenstein Conference in Italy

Found out about this one late. The conference is titled "Wittgensteinian Uncertainties," and is being held at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and the University of Bologna this Friday and Saturday, respectively. Here's the program:

Friday the 9th

10.15-11.45 ­– Hans-Johan Glock (Zurich)
"Meaning and concepts in On Certainty"

12-00-13.30 ­– Paolo Leonardi (Bologna)
"Knowledge and Justification"

15.00-16.30 ­– Duncan Pritchard (Edinburgh)
"The Significance of Philosophical Scepticism. What Wittgenstein Saw and Austin Missed"

17.00-18.30­ – Annalisa Coliva (Modena)
"Was Wittgenstein an Epistemic Relativist?"

Saturday the 10th

10.15-11.45 ­– Alberto Voltolini (Reggio Emilia)
"Wittgenstein's Naturalism?"

12.00-13.30 ­– Daniele Moyal-Sharrock (Hertfordshire)
"Wittgenstein's Hinges"

Not including the sessions at the Pacific APA and the postgraduate conference at UEA, that brings the total of Wittgenstein conferences in 2008 to twelve.

12, wow! Well, glad to see that people are interested in W. enough to warrant that. I just wish I could attend some of them!

The papers listed here intrigue me quite a lot, as my main focus as of late has been On Certainty.
