BEYOND MIMESIS AND NOMINALISM: Representation in Art and Science Conference
22-23 June 2006
London School of Economics, London, UK

However, recent work in both the philosophy of science and studies of the visual arts suggests that these apparently different representational traditions may be related. This conference seeks to open conversations between and beyond these compartmentalized traditions.
