But how did the philosophical canon presented in the textbooks arise? To what extent does the canon give an accurate picture of the philosophical tradition?

Our lecturers Han Thomas Adriaenssen, Liam Kofi Bright, Gary Ostertag, and Marta Sznajder will discuss these questions, calling on a wide range of periods and philosophical traditions.   Confirmed Lecturers Han Thomas Adriaenssen (University of Groningen) Liam Kofi Bright (London School of Economics) Gary Ostertag (CUNY, New York)  Marta Sznajder (MCMP, Munich)   Submission Guidelines Students can present a paper or an issue they encounter in their own research in a one-hour student-led session, consisting of a presentation and discussion.
