Philosophy and its Traditions conference poster

This poster announces a 1990 conference hosted by Warwick’s Centre for Research in Philosophy and Literature, a hub for continental philosophy. Founded on the interplay between philosophy and the literary humanities, the Centre reflected the influence of thinkers like Heidegger, Derrida, and Deleuze. Organised by Andrew Benjamin, the event featured leading voices including Gianni Vattimo and Rodolphe Gasché, with contributions from Gillian Rose and Fiona Hughes. The theme—Philosophy and Its Traditions—captured a core concern of continental thought: how the past shapes the present. Conference fee, including B&B? Just £28. A different time, indeed.
