New perspectives on medieval philosophy

The Medieval Philosophical Gatherings is an open space to discuss some of the most crucial issues of medieval philosophy from a fresh new perspective. Every week or so, we will delve into the specificities of the medieval debate through the lenses of young scholars’ research on new topics and problems. The colloquium is open and all are welcome. To attend, all that is needed is an email and the willingness to explore the subtleties of scholasticism.
