Congratulations!

As well as: What are the methodological presuppositions underlying the hypothetical alternative canons of philosophy? #HistoryOfPhilosophy

Here some of the questions that guided us throughout the day: What is the utility of an historical approach to philosophical questions and in particular to political-philosophical problems? Is it still possible to speak of a “canon” in the history of philosophy? #WomenPhilosophers #Materialism

We had a wonderful workshop, yesterday! At DePaul University we discussed about “(Political) Philosophy and Its History: New Challenges in the Historical Approach to Philosophy”. It's the first result of an ongoing collaboration between the HOPE and the THiME Marie-Curie projects. #MSCA #Philosophy

There is no doubt that the ecological crisis is—or, better, should be—at the top of our political agenda. But should it not also change the way we think about politics? Join us at DePaul University next week (Oct. 22) to discuss about it! #MSCA #Ecology #Philosophy

Oh, so let’s see you there!

May I ask in which city?
