Since 1980, Richard M. Owsley, Professor Philosophy (Retired), has tried to make students and fellow faculty members more aware of the phenomenological movement in philosophy by holding meetings on the life and the thought of Martin Heidegger April 15-17, 1999. The UNT Department of Philosophy and the College of Arts and Sciences is proud to sponsor the 19th Heidegger Conference. This gathering is open to all students faculty, and staff who are interested in existential phenomenology generally and the radical ontology of Heidegger specifically. This year's meeting will also be a preliminary event to the Earth Day celebrations at the EESAT building and around campus. Our featured speaker will be Prof. Robert Mugerauer of the University of Texas/Austin. Dr. Mugerauer is a specialist in environmental architecture and applies Heideggerian philosophy in his theories of place and living space.

There are still a few spots open for papers dealing in any area of Heideggerian studies. 150 word abstracts are being accepted from undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty members. Completed papers should not exceed 25 minutes reading time. If you would be interested in attending or in participating, please feel free to contact Courtney Willis or Keith Brown for more information.
