Due to recent events, the Department of Social and Legal Philosophy, the Department of Philosophy KTH and the Centre for Ethics and Poverty Research will offer later during the Winter Semester a philosophical seminar on the topic of Flight, Asylum and Migration. It is an ethical, social and legal-philosophical reflection of the current “refugee crisis” based on current philosophical texts and positions.

On the 1st and 2nd of October, the third Conference of Practical Philosophy will take place in the Unipark Nonntal. In addition to the two plenary of professors, Professor Monika Betzler (Munich) and Professor Corinna Mieth (Bochum), there will be approximately one hundred other presentations from all areas of practical philosophy to listen to and discuss.

On 24 November, 2015, the new book by Gunter Graf and Gottfried Schweiger, “A Philosophical Examination of Social Justice and Child Poverty “, will be presented at the Center for Ethics and Poverty Research. Professors Monika Betzler (Munich), John Drerup (Koblenz-Landau) and Christian Neuhaus (Dortmund) will comment on the book and have discussions with the authors.
