University of Zurich, September 16 – 18, 2021
Event with Covid Certificate
The symposium celebrates the work of Hans-Johann Glock, a philosopher renowned for both his exegesis of Wittgenstein and his many contributions to systematic debates. The rare combination of a Wittgenstein-inspired approach with a preparedness to break away from Wittgenstein to tackle problems in an open-minded way makes Glock a distinctive voice in contemporary philosophy. His work has inspired both Wittgenstein scholars and philosophers who are not primarily interested in Wittgenstein’s legacy. The purpose of the three-day symposium is to bring together both up-and-coming and distinguished philosophers from Switzerland and abroad to discuss the potential of applying Wittgensteinian insights to contemporary debates. It covers a wide range of topics, including specific issues in the philosophy of language and mind, the theory of agency and normativity, as well as metaphilosophical issues. The contributions of the invited speakers will later be published in a Festschrift with Routledge.
