Cal State San Bernardino’s Department of Philosophy will host the “Love and Loneliness” workshop conference on Friday, Dec. 6, and Saturday, Dec. 7. Organized by Kaitlyn Creasy, a faculty member in the department, the conference is supported by a $3,000 CSUSB Intellectual Life Fund award, a grant from the American Philosophical Association, and contributions from the President’s and Provost’s Office.

The conference will delve into recent philosophical explorations of loneliness as a phenomenon tied to the absence of love, whether that absence is total or results from love that is not properly expressed. Its focus is the complex relationship between loneliness and various forms of loving relationships, providing a platform for philosophical discussions on these deeply human experiences.

Each day will conclude with a keynote presentation from a leading contemporary philosopher, offering in-depth insights into the themes of love and loneliness. This two-day event promises to be a thought-provoking gathering for scholars and enthusiasts of philosophy alike.
