Just back from a very enjoyable workshop at Monash's centre in Prato, Italy, part of a research project 'Reinventing Philosophy as a Way of Life', run by colleagues in Monash and Warwick. This was the second event (the last in July 2015), and a third is planned for July 2018.
This week I have another trip, this time to Berlin for a conference: Philosophy in its Ancient Beginnings, at the Humboldt University. Further info here.
