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).
