Add a talkDetails
The aim of the conference is to explore possibilities of philosophical dialogue, between genuinely Wittgensteinian philosophising, on the one hand, and a variety of contemporary philosophical discourse, on the other. In the pursue of this goal, the conference-speakers will present comparative studies of different kind and focus, so as to put into relation selected philosophical contributions by Wittgenstein with those of other theoretical approaches.
