Conferences


Biennial Wheaton College Philosophy Conference

During the Fall Semester every other year, the Philosophy Department organizes a conference addressing timely philosophical issues of interest to Christians in the profession. The conference has played a seminal role in promoting and recognizing the very high level of philosophical discourse taking place among Christian philosophers. It remains significant for grappling with philosophical and theological questions from an explicitly Christian perspective. For more information on this year's speaker series, click here.

McManis Lecture Series

Every third year, the McManis Lecture Series offers the Philosophy Department the opportunity to host both national and international scholars for a series of lectures addressing a specific topic or philosophical issue. These lectures are oriented toward the major and are often accompanied by a course devoted to the topic at hand. This lecture series provides students, once again, with the opportunity to experience first-hand and to interact with the very highest level of scholarship in the field of professional philosophy.
