The Philosophy and Art History Research Seminar meets weekly in term on Thursday afternoons* to discuss a paper by a visiting philosopher, art historian, or a member of our academic staff.

This week's speaker is University of Copenhagen philosopher Professor Dan Zahavi.

Dan is Professor of philosophy and Director of the Center for Subjectivity Research at the University of Copenhagen. He is mainly working on topics in the field of phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science and has written on the nature of selfhood, self-consciousness, intersubjectivity, social cognition, temporality, sociality, shame, empathy and collective intentionality. In this week's seminar Dan discusses empathy, alterity and morality.

The seminar will be followed by informal drinks at Top Bar and a meal.
