Philosophy in the Mountains Conference 2022!
Philosophers are thinkers....and humans! One must think and learn, but one must also live. Both Socrates and Aristotle are known for their philosophical walks with students. These events involved thinking, but also physical activity! Books are a great part of our studies, but so are fellowship and community. Jean Jaques Rousseau said "To travel on foot is to travel in the fashion of Thales, Plato, and Pythagoras. I find it hard to understand how a philosopher can bring himself to travel in any other way; how he can tear himself from the study of the wealth which lies before his eyes and beneath his feet." Our philosophy students were in agreement with Rousseau as they followed Socrates' and Aristotle's examples this past weekend. The Philosophy faculty took to the mountains for an intense weekend of conferences and exploring. Nestled in the Kościeliska Valley, we found ourselves immersed in discussion and nature. Our students were able to give presentations on their research, as well as listen to talks by some of our professors and doctoral students. It was a great weekend, in the fine tradition of our annual "Filozofia w Górach" series, and we look forward to coming together again next year!
