Introduction
to the ‘Science of Being’
August 8-13, 2005
Dr. Jan A. Aertsen
Dr. Jan Aertsen is Professor Emeritus
of philosophy at the University
of Cologne (Germany). Dr. Aertsen
challenged his audience of 60-70
graduate students from a variety
of academic fields to think
beyond the limits set by many
modern philosophers, especially
within the Soviet ambit.
Dr. Aertsen invited students
to explore the ground and conditions
necessary as a foundation to
practical discourse and critical
before the formulation of human
action and social policies.
Since 1999, Dr. Aertsen has
also been a visiting director
at l'Ecole Practique des Hautes
Etudes in Paris, in addition
to giving courses at universities
in Louvain, Toronto and Cologne.
In 1998 he delivered the Dietrich
von Hildebrand Memorial Lectures
at Fordham University in New
York (USA).
