Philosophy and History Workshop

We are happy to announce that the Philosophy and History Workshop will be resuming our monthly meetings this academic year. Dieter Sturma will give a workshop on September 11th entitled “The Nature of Self-Consciousness: Reconstructing German Idealism”. This talk will be in O’Shaughnessy 119 at 3:00 pm. We will have more information on this talk in the coming weeks. The tentative schedule for the remainder of the year includes a talk on September 25th by Joe Brutto from Political Theory entitled “Aristotelian Liberalism: Aristotle’s Political Thought in the 20th Century”. We are also looking forward to Professor Karl Ameriks from the Philosophy Department on November 6th, and then Adam Foley from the History Department on Milton and Kant, Joshua Robinson from the Medieval Institute will give a workshop on appropriations of philosophy in Byzantine thought, and Professor Carsten Dutt from the German Department has also agreed to give a workshop entitled, “What is interpretive knowledge?” in the Spring. We have two workshops the details of which are yet to be determined. We are looking forward to kicking off our series in a couple of weeks!
