Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Andrew Newman is Professor of Philosophy and Chair of
the Department of Philosophy and Religion. He comes from England and was born
and brought up in Bournemouth in Dorset. He obtained a B.Sc. degree in Physics
from King's College, London, a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Birkbeck
College, London, and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from University College, London.
He teaches courses in metaphysics, philosophy of science,
philosophy of religion, analytical philosophy, and the history of modern
philosophy.
His main research interests are in analytical metaphysics, particularly the theory of universals and related problems concerning particulars and the notion of substance.
He is the author of a number of articles on metaphysics and a book about universals, causality, and the notion of the real, The Physical Basis of Predication (Cambridge, 1992). His book The Correspondence Theory of Truth, an Essay on the Metaphysics of Predication was published by Cambridge in 2002. His article, "Converse Relations, Vectors, and Three Theses from Armstrong," was published in Metaphysica: 3 (2002), No. 2, pp. 65-84.

particulars or on the problem of
causal unity that arises in connection with Trenton Merricks's book.
