Professor Richard Owsley

Heidegger Symposium in
1980, and hosted it for over
twenty years.

He also helped to develop the
Department of Philosophy and
Religious Studies at the
University of North Texas.

Although he retired in 1995,
he continued to teach and
participate in philosophical
discourse until shortly before
his death.

In December of 1999, Professor
Owsley was elected president
of the Karl Jaspers Society.
In April of 2000, he
delivered his last opening
address at the 20th Heidegger
Symposium, on "The Meaning
of Truth in Husserl and
Heidegger."

Richard Owsley died on February
16, 2003, at the age of 79.

Travel & Accommodation

Please make your reservations as soon as possible, and be sure to mention the University of Dallas when you request a room.

Note: this year the Symposium will be unable to provide transportation between hotels and the university. So, unless you are renting a car, it would behoove you to book a hotel (such as the Wyndham) that offers van service to the university and environs. (When booking rooms at the Wyndham Las Colinas, be sure to ask for "In-house Reservations." Otherwise you'll be sent through the corporate reservation system, which has no record of the UD rates.

Accommodation: the following link connects to the UD web page listing area hotels that offer special UD rates. Because the Byron Nelson golf tournament will be held the same weekend as the Heidegger Symposium, please make your reservations as soon as possible. Be sure to mention the University of Dallas when you request a room, and try to book a hotel that offers transportation to the college.
