The conference will be held in English, and peer-reviewed proceedings will be published in an edited volume of the series Anthem Studies in Wittgenstein.


The conference will take place in-person. Attendance is free of charge but space is limited and registration is required. To register, please send an email to Nuno Venturinha nventurinha.ifl@fcsh.unl.pt.
