"Form(s) of Life and the Nature of Experience," Institute of Philosophy of Language, New University of Lisbon, May 22-23, 2009.

International Wittgenstein Workshop. The aim of this workshop is to explore some of the relations between Wittgenstein’s concept of ‘Lebensform(en)’ and his view of human experience. To what extent is the form of our life fixed, i.e., is there a form of life or forms of life, and how does this relate to the different fields of experience? The workshop is expected to shed light on a much exploited but rarely analysed topic in Wittgenstein’s scholarship and to contribute to the overall philosophical discussion about the nature of experience. Speakers include: Jean-Pierre Cometti (Provence) Edward Harcourt (Oxford) Stefan Majetschak (Kassel) António Marques (Lisbon) Jesús Padilla Gálvez (Toledo) Joachim Schulte (Zurich) James M. Thompson (Halle) Nuno Venturinha (Lisbon) There is no registration fee for the workshop. Those attending it will be expected to make their own arrangements for meals and accommodation as needed. Enquiries relating to any subject should be sent to Dr. Nuno Venturinha (nventurinha.ifl@fcsh.unl.pt).
