Frankfurt School Philosophy Forum

A forum for open discussions on contemporary philosophical research, welcoming everyone with an interest in philosophy.

Our next event

The FS Philosophy Forum provides a platform for discussion of current philosophical research. All meetings start with a 30-40 minutes’ talk by a speaker, followed by Q&A. The papers that form the focus of our discussions will often be circulated in advance. However, while participants are most welcome to read these papers, participation in the Philosophy Forum does not require any advance preparation. Everyone with an interest in philosophy is most welcome to attend.

Updates about the FS Philosophy Forum are posted on this website and distributed via a special mailing list. If you would like to be included in this list, wish to suggest a speaker, or require further information about the group, please contact Sebastian Köhler
