John Heil has completed editorial work on a monograph, The Mind in Nature authored by C. B. Martin. The book will appear early in 2008 published by Oxford University Press. In late 2006 an anthology of papers discussing Heil's work appeared, edited by Michael Esfeld (John Heil: Symposium on his Ontological Point of View. Frankfurt: Ontos-Verlag). Heil contributed the lead paper, and responded to twelve authors discussing his work. In January 2007, he delivered a keynote paper, 'Anomalous Monism', at a conference on 'Truth and Reality' at the University of Otago in New Zealand. In July 2007 he spoke on 'Realization' (on the nature of the 'realizing' relation, the relation thought to hold between, for instance, mental states and brain states that realize them) at the Australian Association of Philosophy in Armidale, NSW. He was the recipient of the first annual award for the best paper published in the Australasian Journal of Philosophy during the previous year: 'The Legacy of Linguisticism'. Currently he is writing papers on diverse topics including relations, universals, and tropes (modes).
