One Year Post-Doctoral Fellow Position in the NWO Project Buddhism and Social Justice (1.0 fte)
From Tuesday the 3rd of September to Sunday the 8th I will be in Turin, for the Forth Coffee Break Conference. You can find the program here: orario_CBC_13.
(Additional information can be found on the CBC’s website.)
More in detail, I will be hosting a panel on the Philosophy of Testimony (aka śabdapramāṇa). Beside trying to answer to testimony/śabda-related problems and questions, we will also focus on the possibility to discuss about it in a way which should not take into account the opposition between Western vs. Indian philosophy. This is hopefully the first attempt of doing “just philosophy” (with no further geographical boundary added). Ideas for the next “just philosophical” panels are always welcome.
(You can find my short .ppt presentation introducing the panel here: Intro.)
