Philosophy for the Social Sciences and Humanities
(Sponsored by the Indian Council of Philosophical Research)
The Sixth Summer School on "Philosophy for the Social Sciences and Humanities" organised by Prof Sundar Sarukkai will be held at Manipal University again this year. In this course students will not only enrich their conceptual understanding of social sciences and humanities through a series of lectures, workshop presentations and activities but will also engage with their own disciplines and research areas through writing, discussions and reflection.
The uniqueness of this year's workshop is the theme Banality of Evil. Under this broad theme we will discuss political and social philosophy drawing from both Indian and Western approaches.
Dates: Monday, July 4, 2011 ? Friday, July 15, 2011
