The Institute of Philosophy of the University of Wrocław is launching a new series of lectures. The series “American Philosophy and Culture” will begin on October 22 with a lecture by Prof. Richard Shusterman “Concepts of Culture”.

The American Philosophy and Culture lecture series aim to support international dialogue and research on classical American philosophy, such as pragmatism (and variants of neo-pragmatism), transcendentalism, and personalism, as well as on other traditions derived from or related to American thought and culture.

As part of the series, Wrocław will be visited by world-famous researchers and scientists who will give lectures on issues from various philosophical sub-disciplines: from the philosophy of science, through the philosophy of politics and ethics to aesthetics, metaphilosophy and public philosophy.

Richard Shusterman is a professor of philosophy at Florida Atlantic University and the director of the Center for Body, Mind, and Culture there, author of several dozen books.
