From yesterday’s conference on Foucault’s 100th anniversary: @mvagelli.bsky.social presenting on Ian Hacking on Foucault and the philosophical abuses of the past.
The workshop concludes with a talk by @annaziel.bsky.social on “Ludwik Fleck on Democracy and Objectivity in Sciences,” featuring a vivid description of pre‑war Lviv and its intellectual milieu.
La scorsa settimana @mvagelli.bsky.social è stato invitato alla Fondazione De Santillana per un dialogo su “Giorgio de Santillana: mito, scienza e conoscenza”.
Grazie alla Fondazione per l’organizzazione di questo bellissimo evento e per l’opportunità! Bellissime anche le foto ricevute! 📸✨
