  7. Philopolis - A feast of philosophy (March 2-4, 2012)

    Philosophy is a field that engages with every facet of life. However, academic philosophy these days could be doing a better job of engaging in dialogue with the public: this requires finding a common language, as well as being explicit about the relevance of the ideas at issue. \

    Philopolis is a two-day festival that aims to facilitate just such an exchange through panel discussions, workshops and activities of many kinds. Find out more at the festival website.
