PPE Summerschool: Public Philosophy and Social Ontology: Rights and Responsibilities for a Just Society
When: 26th to 30th of August 2019
About the Topic
How do people live together? And how should they live
together? Answering these questions requires a
conception of society, and of the role that social practices,
institutions and organizations play in it. But what are
these social structures? What are their functions? And
how can they contribute to a just society?
The Main Themes
● Social practices and institutions: incentives &
norms, nature & function
● Social construction and social change: identity /
discrimination
● Social groups and collective agents: responsibility
& rights
● Social structures and individual autonomy:
concord / conflict
This summer school brings together experts in social
theory, social ontology, ethics, and political philosophy. It
serves to bring recent developments in social ontology to
bear on public philosophy.
Who Can Apply?
The summer school is targeted at PhD students in
philosophy with a background or interest in the social
sciences. Research Master students and post-docs are also
welcome to apply.

The fee for non-OZSW members is €350 and €300 for OZSW
