PWL International Seminar

MARCH-JUNE, 2026

The PWL International Seminar is a monthly online lecture-and-discussion series convened by the International Society for Philosophy as a Way of Life (ISPWL) in collaboration with Palinode. Building on the earlier “Mapping PWL” seminar series, the relaunch brings together scholars and practitioners working across traditions, methods, and fields to explore dissemination of philosophy understood not merely as a theoretical discipline, but as a way of living and transforming oneself. 

International Conference

La filosofia come modo di vita nell’età dell’Illuminismo / Philosophy as a Way of Life in the Age of the Enlightenment

DIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE UMANE – UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI VERONA

APRIL 22-24, 2026

Arising from the collaboration between the University of Verona, the Pontifical Gregorian University, the Voltaire Foundation of the University of Oxford, and the Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of the European Enlightenment of Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, this conference is the first scientific initiative co-organized by the ISPWL. The aim of the conference is to apply the meta-philosophical paradigm of “Philosophy as a Way of Life” to the various Enlightenments that developed across European soil, thereby testing its effectiveness. The hope is to contribute to the construction of an alternative narrative — one that can find space not only in the pages of specialized publications, but also, and above all, in a new vision of what the Enlightenment has meant and what it may once again come to mean.
