Research Seminar Theoretical Philosophy

Special guest Kit Fine talks in the Research Seminar
© Christian Nimtz

The main forum of our research group is the “Research Seminar Theoretical Philosophy”. We meet roughly biweekly during the term, and about once a month during the term break, to discuss papers contributed by participants or invited guests. The schedule is flexible, however, and may be adjusted if needed. The papers are circulated in advance.

All scholars and philosophy students who have a marked interest in research in theoretical philosophy are cordially invited to join our sessions!

We meet Tuesday evenings from 18:15 to about 20:30. The sessions are held in X-A4-113 (or via Zoom if necessary).

If you would like to participate, please contact Nele Barfuß via email.
