Meaning, Norms, and Context (Pavia, December 2022)

On 15th December 2022, I will participate in a special event at the University of Pavia, dedicated to the memory of Italian philosopher Eva Picardi, who taught me in Bologna in the 90s. During the day, two new publications will be presented and discussed by students and colleagues of Eva Picardi:
These volumes gather Eva Picard's philosophical work and have been curated by Annalisa Coliva.
