We are happy to announce the fourth edition of the „Philosophy Meets Literary Studies“ workshop. The workshop series aims to bring together philosophers and literary scholars working on similar issues. We believe that both parties can profit a lot from an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas, perspectives, and data.

Venue: Heyne-Haus, Papendiek 16, 37073 Göttingen

The workshop language is English.
