The conference will start on the evening of Sunday, 20th of August and end on Thursday 24th of August, after breakfast. Everyone welcome!
The idea
The main purpose of the conference is to bring together different research groups, to present and discuss their preliminary results and/or ideas (work in progress very welcome) and to foster interaction.
Interaction
The main aim of the conference is to get Swiss philosophers to interact more (that's why the coffee breaks are so long), but also to get them to interact more with the wider public. This is why the conference includes, as a constitutive part, the SAGW/ASSH funded round table "Die gesellschaftliche Relevanz der Schweizer Philosophie auf dem Prüfstand".
