Last year Philosophy Portal hosted a conference titled “Rosy Cross” which explored questions of right, power, love, freedom, inspired by a course focused on Hegel’s Philosophy of Right. This year, Philosophy Portal will be hosting a follow up conference titled “Rosy Cross 2” which will aim to explore the connection between radical theology and emancipatory politics, inspired by a course focused on the concept of Christian Atheism.
Below you can find both the conference details, as well as information on signing up.
