OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Ontological Nihilism
I will argue that ontological nihilism, i.e. the view that there are no things is a consistent position. Secondly, I shall discuss an argument for the view that nihilism is not just possibly but actually true, that is that there actually are no things. I am going to conclude by some reflections on the consequences of the nihilist position for project of constructing a fundamental metaphysical theory.
