‘Philosophy across Boundaries’ is the theme of the international philosophy congress in Rome, which will be attended by around 5,000 representatives from all over the world from 1 to 8 August. ‘It's about global encounters, overcoming borders and getting to the heart of current problems,’ says Prof Dr Ruth Hagengruber, Professor of Philosophy at Paderborn University. The academic is holding a symposium there on the history of women philosophers worldwide.
‘It is the greatest possible honour to have been selected for this. Women from Africa, Asia and America will present new approaches to global philosophy at the congress,’ says Hagengruber. Ukrainian academic Katarina Karpenko, who teaches at Paderborn University on ecocide in Ukraine, will also give a lecture in Rome. Hagengruber: ‘Paderborn will therefore be well represented. Like many small cities rich in tradition, Paderborn has been able to secure a place for itself on the world stage of philosophy as a city of philosophical reorientation.’
Hagengruber heads the ‘Centre for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists’ at Paderborn University, which is dedicated to researching the history of women philosophers.
The congress is organised by the ‘International Federation of Philosophical Societies - FISP’.
