Reading group on Anarchism and Philosophy @ Uni Nijmegen
nn - 19.03.2010 23:30
Beginning on the 1st of April a new reading group on anarchism and philosophy will be held at Radboud University, Nijmegen in the Netherlands.
This reading group, organised within the framework of the Faculty of Social and Political Philosophy, aims to both introduce anarchism from a philosophical perspective as well as offer in depth discussions of various aspects of anarchist thought. The group will focus on a particular text each session. Copies of the readings can be made in the copy room on the sixteenth floor of the Erasmus building at Radboud University, Nijmegen.
Participation is completely free and is open to anyone who is interested, although the group is aimed at postgraduate students and academics with some grounding in political philosophy. Discussions will take place in English and tea and coffee will be available.
