Description

A three-day graduate workshop to examine the theoretical and practical perspectives of ‘progress,’ its history, and contemporary and future implications. How should we define progress and trace its trails in historical societal, artistic and intellectual development? What are the conditions, causes and effects of progress for societies and individuals? What significant aspects of progress in European culture helped shape the 21st century? Were they incidents or necessary results? Does Europe face future progression – or regression?

30th July – 1st August 2009

at the

Institute of Philosophy, University of Bonn

Am Hof 1, 53113 Bonn

The event will allow graduates to present their research both to an international forum for discussion and in smaller working groups. All contributions concerning the concept of progress, its philosophical and cultural relevance, as well as important examples of cultural, intellectual and philosophical progress, are welcomed.

Participation in this event is free for Europaeum institution graduates (apart from travel).

Deadline for applications: June 30th 2009.

ALL WELCOME
