Gregynog Conference 2016


This spring, I received an invitation to give a plenary talk on recognition in Gregynog (Wales, UK) during 25-27 July. The Gregynog Conference was hosted by the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain, with Paul Standish and Naomi Hodgson as the organizers of the event.

The conference was set in beautiful surroundings, offering a variety of highly interesting talks. In my own presentation titled "Antecedent Recognition: Some Problematic Features of the Very Notion" I dealt with Axel Honneth's specific views, and got some very good questions and comments from the audience afterwards.

Time for a break

In general, the overall athmosphere of the conference was truly enjoyable. One of the personal highpoints was experienced during "the late seminar" which consisted of singing together around a grand piano. I will certainly try to go again!
