Philosophy Day: What is New in the History of Philosophy?

Philosophy Day: What is New in the History of Philosophy?

To celebrate the international Philosophy Day on Thursday November 16, early-career scholars from UCLouvain and KULeuven gather to discuss new trends in the broad research field of the history of philosophy.

The event includes a series of short presentations on various aspects of innovation in recent scholarship in the history of philosophy from Antiquity to the Enlightenment, in Latin scholasticism and in Islamicate cultures. After the presentations, the participants will engage in a roundtable discussion on the challenge of doing innovative research. The audience (students, researchers, and everyone with interest in the history of philosophy) is most welcome to contribute to the discussion!
