Structure
• The program will center on Schelling and Emerson, with separate days devoted to metaphysics, theory of knowledge, ethics and philosophy of religion.
• The first day will introduce the group to Schelling and Emerson and the background of their thought. These discussions will be lead by Stephen Tyman, Southern Illinois University, and Douglas Anderson, Southern Illinois University.
• For the remaining days, each participant will be responsible for a specific text and/or aspect of Schelling & Emerson’s thought and will help lead that part of the discussion.

Location
This year’s gathering will be held on the campus of Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina. Cullowhee is located approximately 50 miles west of Asheville and sits near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, and several national forests which make up some of the largest wilderness areas in the Eastern United States.

Lodging
Double and single occupancy accommodations are provided in one of two town-house style apartment buildings. These spacious houses have 10 double occupancy rooms each along with a large kitchen and common area (where the daily meetings will be held).

Note that there is no daily maid service in the residence halls. All rooms have two twin-sized beds and a private bath. Accompanying guests or spouses who share a room would be required to purchase a housing and meal option as well.
