The weekly
Theoretical
Philosophy Forum is organized and hosted by
the Department
of Logic, Institute
of
Philosophy at the Faculty
of Humanities of Eötvös Loránd
University Budapest. It aims to bring
together not only the Budapest philosophy
community working on a wide range of
theoretical philosophy, but also
scientists interested in philosophical and
foundational problems of
natural and social sciences. The regular
participants come from the
following institutions:
It
must be emphasized, however, that the
Forum is open to everyone, including
students, visitors, and
faculty members from all departments and
institutes.
The
scope of the Forum includes all aspects of theoretical
philosophy,
including:
- logic and philosophy
of formal sciences
- philosophy of science
- modern
metaphysics
- epistemology
- philosophy
of language
- problems in history of philosophy and
history of science, relevant to the
above topics
- particular
issues in natural and social sciences,
important for the discourses in
the main scope of the Forum.
The
friendly and informal atmosphere helps us to
freely discuss our topics.
The 60 minute lecture is followed by a 10
minute break and a
30-60 minute discussion. The language of
presentation can be English or
Hungarian. Depending on the topic, the
audience is a mixture of
scholars working in various fields. The
lecturers
are traditionally suggested to ignore
this fact: The style of
the
presentation is supposed to respect only the
most professional people
in the audience.
The next month program is announced
around 15th of the previous month. The
lecturers
are kindly
asked to send us a
Title/Affiliation/Abstract in good time.
Time &
venue: Wednesday 5:00 PM, Room
226, 2nd Floor, Building "i" (Múzeum
krt. 4), Faculty of Humanities, Eötvös
University.
