Activities
Our activities bring together scholars from around the world to explore philosophical questions in their global, historical, and linguistic dimensions. Through interviews, lectures, and research talks, we engage with the plurality of philosophical traditions and their interrelations—from African and Asian philosophies to intercultural and comparative approaches. Each event contributes to our broader aim of rethinking philosophy as a globally entangled and polylogical practice.
