Welcome to the Philosophical Society of Finland's Annual Colloquium 2022 in Oulu!
[Edit 9th June. New links for live-streaming added.]
Philosophical Society of Finland organizes a colloquium Past. Future. Philosophy. in University of Oulu, June 9th and 10th 2022.
Our relation to the past and the future is anything but clear. The past is not anymore, and the future does not exist yet, but nevertheless the past affects us, and we affect the future. It is commonly accepted that it is possible to study the past. But how is it possible, given that the past has already ceased to exist? Only a segment of the knowledge about the past ends up written as history. Why?
Future can be anticipated. Especially in the sciences, we devise models from which to derive predictions about future events. Our current actions could render the lives of future humans unbearable, even impossible. Nevertheless, the future is mostly in the dark for us and beyond possibility of observation. How does philosophy contribute to our understanding of the future?
An international workshop on the state and future of philosophy of history is organized as a part of the colloquium.
Keynote speakers
Prof. emer. Simo Knuuttila (University of Helsinki), Dr Miira Tuominen (University of Stockholm) & Dr Adrian Currie (University of Exeter).
