Since 1995, the Philosophy Department of the University of Amsterdam has annually appointed a foreign philosopher to the Spinoza chair. As part of the appointment, the Spinoza professor gives a number of lectures intended for a broad audience that wants to stay informed about contemporary developments in philosophy.
Prof. Robert Brandom holds the Spinoza Chair at the Department of Philosophy in the Faculty of Humanities during the second term of the academic year 2020-2021. Prof. Brandom - Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Fellow of the Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh - will be delivering the Spinoza Lectures under the title of Fetishism, Anti-Authoritarianism, and the Second Enlightenment: Rorty and Hegel on Representation and Reality.
Both lectures will take place online via Zoom. You can register now; you will receive the link to the Zoom meeting a couple of days in advance.
