Philosophical Thinking in the Ruhr Region: A New Program
Dear Thinkers,
Would like to draw your attention to a special opportunity. We are launching a
new initiative on “Philosophy and the Public” featuring
a series of lectures and an exhibition on philosophy, which will take place as part of the
Ruhr Alliance of the three universities in Bochum, Duisburg-Essen, and Dortmund:
the philosophy departments have joined forces for this initiative and cordially invite you to attend.
These programs are also aimed at philosophy students, as the content is presented in a way that makes it particularly accessible from a pedagogical standpoint:

Topic:
Perception & Understanding—the World, Ourselves, and Others
Perceptions are our window to the world. But how do they arise? Is perceiving something essentially the same as taking a photograph of our surroundings? Or do our brains construct a world of our own that differs from the world of other
people?
Where and when? 28.2.2025-06.04.2025 im Dortmunder U (close to the Train Station)
With kind regards,
Albert Newen (Institut für Philosophie II, Bochum)
