Admission requirements
Admission to this course is restricted to first-year BA students in Philosophy: Global and Comparative Perspectives.
Description
Philosophy is not a stock of wisdom, but an ongoing practice of asking questions. Which are the right questions to ask? How are they interconnected? Can we hope to answer them, and if so, how? In this series of biweekly lectures Leiden philosophers present samples of their ongoing research. The lecture series aims to give first-year students an idea of the handwork of philosophy.
