The reading seminar has a two-fold purpose: the first is to practise and train presentation and critical skills, the second is, through an overall picture of  von Wright's  work in various fields, to put the students in a better position to attend fruitfully the events that will be organized during 2016 to celebrate the centenary of his birth.

The precise content of the seminar will be agreed with the participants during the first meetings.

Each meeting will consist of one or two presentations by the students.  The assessment will take into account both the quality of the individual presentations and the level of participation through questions, comments and clarifications during the presentations given by others.

A selection of the writings of G.H. von Wright, especially those in book form, to be agreed at the beginning of the seminar taking into account the students' interests.
