World Philosophy Day
Wednesday, November 20, 2024 4:00–6:00 PM
- DescriptionThe theme of the event is metaphilosophy. We encourage participants to share their thoughts in a 10 to 15-minute presentation on any topic related to the nature of philosophy, philosophical methodology, the future of philosophy, or the question of progress in philosophy. Each presentation will be followed by a 5-minute Q&A session. Presentations don't need to be overly formal—this is simply a chance to share ideas and engage in meaningful dialogue.
