April 25, 2008 Co-sponsored by Description The 2008 CSPT Spring Symposium on 'Reason of State' will bring together a number of distinguished theorists, historians, and philosophers for a sustained discussion of the history and historicity of 'reason of state,' both as concept and as practice. Our speakers will focus on key historical moments and theoretical problematics attending "reason of state" from its inception in the 16th century to its echoes and transformations in the 20th. We hope this event will be of interest to scholars of history and theory from the U.S. west coast to the east, as well as points between. The conference is free and open to the public. We hope to have all papers posted before the event, be sure to check back for newly-posted papers. We do very much encourage all those who are not yet members of CSPT to join. CSPT members, log in to view 2008 conference papers.
