Munich Philosophical Masterclass
Zu den Münchner Philosophischen Meisterkursen lädt die Fachschaft Philosophie international bedeutende Philosophinnen und Philosophen nach München ein, um mit ihnen an mehreren Tagen über ein zentrales philosophisches Thema aus ihrem Werk gemeinsam zu diskutieren. Die Studierenden der LMU bestimmen dabei selbst, wer als Gast eingeladen werden soll. Zu jedem Thema bilden sich thematische Arbeitsgruppen, die von fortgeschrittenen Studierenden und Promovierenden geleitet werden.
Künftige Meisterkurse sind von eurem Engagement abhängig. Wenn ihr Ideen habt, wer als nächste Meisterin oder als nächster Meister eingeladen werden soll, oder ihr beim Meisterkurs mithelfen möchtet, dann meldet euch bei der Fachschaft Philosophie.
