The Phalén Picnic 2019
Since 1970, philosophers from Åbo Akademi University and Uppsala University have gathered regularly, often yearly, for seminars and philosophical discussion, alternating between Åbo (Turku) and Uppsala. This year we will gather in Uppsala.
We are happy to have Olli Lagerspetz from Åbo in Uppsala for the entire spring semester and the Phalén Picnic will be held at his work place, Swedish Collegium for Advanced Studies (SCAS).
