[Iris] Call for Participants: univie:summer school “Ways of Doing Philosophy: East and West” – Deadline: March 15, 2024

Dear Colleagues, There is an open call for participants (at the master, doctoral, and postdoctoral level) in the univie:summer school “Ways of Doing Philosophy: East and West” that is organized by our doctoral researchers at the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy. Abstract: Nowadays, the term philosophy is a common currency across cultures, university curricula, and public discourses around the world. But what happens when φιλοσοφία (philosophia) meets contemporary philosophy and its non-Western counterparts such as Chinese zhexue 哲學? The term encompasses a plethora of conceptions of philosophical practices that vary between East and West cultures. This edition of the Summer School will provide a platform for participants to explore and learn from the plurality of philosophical subjects, methods, and purposes. In addition, the Summer School will focus on the past and present bridges between ancient and modern/contemporary philosophy, as well as between Western and non-Western philosophical traditions, and on the global lessons about philosophy that can be drawn from these interactions. The summer school will, in addition, host keynote lectures on Western Philosophy (with a focus on Ancient Greek Philosophy) and Eastern Philosophy (Daoism, Confucianism and Indian Philosophy).
