Dr Clare Mac Cumhaill is from our Department of Philosophy and is the co-director of In Parenthesis with Dr Rachael Wiseman from University of Liverpool. To mark the birth centenary of Iris Murdoch they have organised the #PhilosophybyPostcard initiative - https://www.philosophybypostcard.com/.
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
