September 29-30, online
Truth is a central notion in various fields. Through this conference, we aim to provide an opportunity for researchers from different fields to debate truth and other related notions. In order to achieve constructive discussions, the topics are going to be organized on panels; this way, the participants can engage researchers with similar interests and common readings.
Taking into account that during the previous edition many participants were interested not only in the analytical perspective, but also some political and continental one, we are providing panels for all these fields of research.
