Distinguished Philosophers-in-Residence
The Distinguished Philosophers-in-Residence series is one of the Philosophy Program's signature projects. Each year, we bring a different distinguished senior philosopher to NYU Abu Dhabi for a weeklong visit, during which the philosopher-in-residence meets with students, attends one or more classes, delivers a public lecture, and participates in a faculty seminar on issues related to his or her work.
This year the Philosophy Program will host two Distinguished Philosophers-in-Residence: Sheridan Hough (March 3–7, 2019) and Christian Coseru (March 10–14, 2019), Professors of Philosophy at the College of Charleston. Professor Hough's public lecture, "The Self: Discovered, or Made?" will be on Wednesday, March 6. Professor Coseru's public lecture, "Virtues of Self-Knowledge," will be on Tuesday, March 12. For further details, see the list of upcoming events below.
