Myth in Theory and Practice

Workshop "Myth in Theory and Practice: Philosophical vs. Historical Perspectives"

The aim of this project is to organize an intensive workshop on "Myth in Theory and Practice: Philosophical vs. Historical Perspectives" that will function, on the one hand, as a platform for a long-term interdisciplinary research project and, on the other hand, as a starting point for a collective academic publication with researchers from both Kyoto University and the University of Zurich.

The idea of the intensive workshop is to provide sufficient time for discussion of the participants' papers. The discussion sessions will be public and recorded. In addition, we will organize a closed meeting in order to work on the texts for publication (manuscript review session) and the planning of future activities.
