Event Details

Rebecca Comay, Professor of Philosophy and Comparative Literature from University of Toronto & Professor of Philosophy, European Graduate School will speak on"Deadlines (literally)" for the Inaugural R. Ellis Dye Memorial Lecture. Reception follows.

Is there more than a superficial family resemblance among the emergencies we suffer on a daily and epochal basis—due dates, expiration dates, statutes of limitation, biological clocks, revolutionary crisis-points, environmental tipping points, messianic end-times? This lecture will explore some of the vicissitudes of this terrifying word and concept.
