Sir Ratramnus created by Moro Rogers.
I had forgotten that the philosophical tradition I came from has merit outside of its normally sequestered arena. This conference reminded me of this in two ways: interest and inclusion. That people were interested in these topics was enough to show me that they matter and that these ideas are important and relevant. That people wanted to include these topics in their further academic research made me feel represented and respected. I came to feel that my own interests were not odd, or outside the pale of “traditional analytic philosophy."
