TOPIC: Are the Best Works of History Written by Philosophers? From Epistemology to Penal Philosophy

TIME:  May 20 (Wednesday) 16:00-18:00

VENUE: 2F, 360 University House

This talk is primarily aimed at sharing my thoughts about the role that philosophical thinking may play in historical research. I often view my own research as approaching philosophical inquiries using historical methodologies. I will specifically discuss what this process consists of and to which extent such research remains meaningful, even when questions do not receive definitive answers.
