The inaugural Warwick Continental Philosphical Conference (WCPC) will take place on 27-29 June 2018, and is entitled 'Identity and Community: Metaphysics, Politics, Aesthetics'. The Key Note presentation will be by Professor Alison Stone (Lancaster) on the topic of Hegel and Colonialism, and she will also be participating in a round table discussion on a closely related topic on 27 June, which will be open to the public. Professor Stone has published widely on Hegel's philosophy of nature and that of other German idealist and Romantic Thinkers, such as Schelling, Schlegel, Novalis and Hölderlin.

Additionally, Professor Miguel de Beistegui will lead a Panel Discussion based upon his forthcoming book 'The Government of Desire: A Geneology of the Liberal Subject' (Chicago University Press) alongside Daniele Lorenzini (Université Saint-Louis Bruxelles/Columbia University) and Federico Testa (Warwick/Monash). Professor Bestegui has published widely on Martin Heidegger, phenomenology and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze.

Continental philosophy offers unique insight into questions of subjectivity, with the possibility of critically engaging both identity and community in their own terms, without privileging one or the other; of opening new avenues for connections to be drawn between art and politics.

The National Student Survey (NSS) is now open and will close on the 30th April.

This is an important opportunity for our undergraduate finalists to give your opinion, in a national forum, on teaching and learning within our department, and on your overall experience at Warwick. We’ll listen carefully to what you say so that your views can help to shape the future of Philosophy at Warwick.

It only takes 5-10 minutes to complete and, as a thank you for completing it, the Philosophy Department will give £3 per completed Philosophy NSS survery to the Hardship Fund.
