Details

The aim of this course, open for PhD students and Research Master students, is to give an overview of current debates in practical philosophy.  The course focuses on the role of different normative theories in applied contexts, methodology and justification of normative positions.

If you have any questions, please email: [email protected] 

Deadline for application: February 17, 2013 

Preparation

As this is a compact and intensive course, active preparation by the students is required. Before the beginning of the Winter School, participants are expected to study the reader containing the background literature for the course (approximately 400 pages), and to write discussion papers for two sessions. During the course, all participants will give a presentation discussing the role of theories in their research. This presentation should provide an opportunity to discuss questions and problems you have with the professors and other participants of the Winter School.

Costs

Participants pay a contribution of 450 euros for meals and accommodation, and are expected to make their own travel arrangements. PhD students of the Netherlands School for Research in Practical Philosophy pay a reduced fee of 400 euro.
