Plenary speakers include James Harris, Laurent Jaffro, Paul Wood and Galen Strawson.

Papers are invited on any aspect of Reid’s thought in terms of its historical or its contemporary relevance, its relationship with his contemporaries in the Scottish Englightenment, and on any aspect of his influence on philosophical thinking in Britain, Europe, North America or any other part of the world where he has been studied.
