The question whether there is a place for philosophers nowadays and how much influence they exercise in our everyday life seems as valid as it was 25 centuries ago in the time of Socrates. It will be also the leitmotif of the conference devoted to the practical philosophy of John Lachs (presently leading American pragmatist), during which academic world meets everyday life. If you want to listen to philosophical debate about values, the art of acting ethically, relativism, the state of being in love with life or you just wish to challenge your theoretical mind, it is the place to be.

Since, wonderfully, we have been able to get some budget from a donator, there is no regular conference fee, entrance on voluntary donation basis. Because of the limitation of the seats, the registration is needed: info@berlinphilosophyforum.org
Therefore, we suggest speakers sending 20 Euro of donation (the word ‘DONATION’ should appear as the description of character of the payment) any time from now, directly to bank account:
