The conference is supported by the Leverhulme Trust and falls within the broader project of “Idealism and Pragmatism: Convergence or Contestation”, connecting the Universities of Pittsburgh, Sheffield, Cambridge, Sydney and Frankfurt, together with Columbia University, Vanderbilt University and the Collège de France.
The Project aims at a retrospective assessment of both the possible interactions between the two philosophical traditions of Idealism and Pragmatism and their potential towards the production of future original thought in philosophy.

The conference’s allowance will be free of charge.
