The Centre for Moral and Political Philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem invites applications for the Centre’s annual summer PhD workshop. This year’s topic is “The Value of Human Life”, and it is coordinated by Anastasia Berg.
Politics between Utopia and a Troubled World
Some interest in political philosophy is theoretical and deep: It engages general, perhaps to an extent abstract questions, and is for the most part indifferent to factual circumstances and turns of events. Another kind of interest in political philosophy is more involved: It is an attempt to reflect (normatively or otherwise) on momentous and consequential developments, and is as such heavily sensitive to political contingencies.
The Centre for Moral and Political Philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is offering up to US$1500 to cover travel costs, accommodation and registration fees for students participating in conferences abroad.
PhD candidates studying at any department at the Hebrew University doing research in Moral and Political Philosophy are eligible.
Please apply by email to cmpp@mail.huji.ac.il attaching a conference program and specifying the relevance for your research.
