Over the last few months, we have been working with Dr Donald Kerr<\/a>, the Special Collections Librarian at the University of Otago, to prepare a rare book exhibition on the history of experimental philosophy.\u00a0 We have brought together classic works of the past and cutting-edge books of the present, to illustrate the theme of experimental philosophy as it was understood and practised 350 years ago and as it is understood today.<\/p>\n

\n
Our exhibition, \u2018Experimental Philosophy: Old and New\u2019, was launched a few weeks ago, to coincide with the annual conference<\/a> of the Australasian Association of Philosophy (AAP).\u00a0 It will run until 23 September 2011, so if you are coming to Dunedin, be sure to stop by and see it.<\/dl>\n

The poster for our exhibition<\/p><\/div>\n

For those who cannot come to Dunedin, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the online version<\/a> of our exhibition.\u00a0 Notable items on display include a second edition of Isaac Newton’s Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica<\/em> (1713), Francis Bacon’s Of the Advancement Learning<\/em> (1640), poet Abraham Cowley’s ‘A Proposition for the Advancement of Experimental Philosophy’ (1668), and an exciting new discovery* concerning the philosopher David Hume!<\/p>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

A couple of months ago, I requested your help<\/a>: we needed an image for our exhibition poster.\u00a0 We received some excellent feedback \u2013 so thank you everyone! \u00a0We eventually settled on a modified version of the frontispiece to 1640 translation of Bacon’s ‘De Augmentis Scientiarum’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoy our exhibition!<\/p>\n
