Philosophy at lunchtime
Every last Wednesday of the month, the Philosophical Seminar offers the opportunity to listen to lectures by external guests on a wide range of topics as part of the "Philosophy at Noon" series of events. After each lecture, all participants are invited to enjoy a small snack and actively participate in the discussion following the lecture.
