Thank you very much for your strong interest in our Summer School! Our administrative panel has started to review all applications, and we hope to find our decisions until the end of April 2012. PLEASE CONTACT US if you did apply for our course and did not get a confirmation yet that your documents have been received.

The Philosophy Department at the University of Bamberg invites graduate students from all departments to apply for the International Summer School on “Metaphysics or Modernity?”. This event, which will take place from 6th to 17th of August 2012, in Bamberg, Germany, shall be an intensive think-tank for young academics who want to discuss the question whether metaphysical inquiry is still relevant in the 21st century. The participants will engage in a vivid debate under the guidance of the following international experts:

Richard King (University of Glasgow) Jorge Gracia (SUNY Buffalo) Barry Stroud (UC Berkeley) Saul Kripke (CUNY)

Additionally, all participants will be given the opportunity to publish an essay on the topic in an essay collection scheduled to appear with Bamberg University Press in 2013.

Learn more about our topic, our lecturers and the application process on this website – and please do not hesitate to contact us in case of any questions.

We, the Department of Philosophy and our student organisation team, are looking forward to your application until March 31st 2012.
