Splijtstof Symposium: Bodies and Embodiment
13:00 – 17:00Erasmusbuilding

Splijtstof is proud to present the annual philosophical Symposium, which this year will take part on the 27th of September! The theme of this year’s Symposium will be: Bodies and Embodiment.

Feel welcome and be submerged in an afternoon of philosophical activity, ending with a drink at the CultuurCafé. The speakers which will be attending this year are Ea Utoft, Ilse Meijer, Josias Tembo and Vivienne Matthies-Boon. All of these speakers will shine their light on Embodiment, what it means to them and how we – as dedicated philosophers – must question and interact with certain aspects of embodied life. If you feel like stopping by, which is possible whenever you want during the 27th, you can find the Symposium in room E.15:39/41, from 13:00 until 17:00.
