IFILNOVA / NOVA FCSH / NOVA University Lisbon
16–18 October 2024
Org. Marta Faustino, Hélder Telo & Pedro Dotto
The final conference of the project “Mapping Philosophy as a Way of Life: An Ancient Model, A Contemporary Approach” will bring together team members, consultants, and collaborators of the project in order to present the most significant results achieved in the last two years. In line with the project’s main objective, the conference will map the vibrant and multifaceted field of philosophy as a way of life (PWL) and present for the first time the main contents of the upcoming Oxford Handbook of Philosophy as a Way of Life. In doing so, it aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the leading research trends in the field while also discussing new avenues of inquiry, use, and application of PWL.
Attendance is free, but registration is required via this form.
The conference will take place in a hybrid format.
On the 16th and 18th, the sessions will be held at NOVA FCSH (Campus Berna), in Auditorium B1 (Tower B).
