Registration for Padova Philosophy Summer School, 12-23 September 2016 «Philosophical Controversies about Objectivity in Classical German Philosophy and Contemporary Analytic Philosophy»

We are pleased to announce that Padova Philosophy Summer School on «Philosophical Controversies about Objectivity in Classical German Philosophy and Contemporary Analytic Philosophy» will be held at University of Padova from 12th to 23rd of September 2016.

What is objectivity? And what is objective? How do we manage to disagree with each other if something is objectively there?
What’s more, how can we understand our mutual disagreement?
What happens when we disagree? How can we deal with disagreement?

The summer school «Philosophical Controversies about Objectivity» intends to offer an indepth understanding of some important philosophical disputes, both of the past and present, relating to objectivity as well as the necessary analytical tools for a critical investigation of these debates.
