Personhood, Law & Literature. Humane Philosophy and the Idea of the Tragic
Ongoing series of seminars in Institute of Philosophy, University of Warsaw
Coordinators:
- Jonathan Price (PhD Fellow and Lecturer at University of Leiden Law School; Tutor at Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford)
- dr Przemysław Bursztyka (Institute of Philosophy, University of Warsaw)
- mgr Mikołaj Sławkowski-Rode (Institute of Philosophy, University of Warsaw)
The aim of the ongoing seminar series is to analyse the human condition in the light of the concept of the tragic. In this perspective the human being appears as a fragile structure whose existence is essentially determined by the constant and dramatic necessity of choosing between competing systems of values, as well as by being split between different or even contradictory political, legal, moral and ontological orders. The aim of the seminar series is to provide possible answers to the question how the idea of human personhood (or individuality – in a more modern idiom) arises out of these contradictions as well as from the confrontation with the general idea of law. It is to be done by means of the extensive analysis of the classical and modern literature as well as the relevant examples of the philosophical writings.
