[News] Workshop Announcement - Philosophy: What and How? (Vienna, May 7-8)

Workshop announcement Philosophy: What and How? A workshop on the nature, aims, and methods of philosophy. Views on what philosophy is and how it should be done vary widely. Is philosophy concerned with reality or with our concepts used for grasping aspects of reality? Does philosophy use a priori or empirical methods? What is the role of intuitions? And of the method of cases? What are philosophers trying to find out? Is Philosophy a descriptive or a normative discipline, or both? Key information: Dates: May 7–8, 2026, 09:00–18:00.
