On November 27, 2021, the department of Philosophy held its first Monsoon Ashoka Philosophy Festival. The idea behind this event was to showcase the research currently conducted by various faculty members at Ashoka’s Philosophy within the University and beyond. Talks were given by Prof. Dmitry Shevchenko (visiting faculty), Prof. Kathleen Harbin, Prof. Raja Rosenhagen, and Prof. Eric Snyder. Each talk was complemented by a commentary and followed by a Q&A period. Comments were offered by Prof. Alex Watson, Prof. Aditi Chaturvedi (former Ashokan, now Azim Premji University), Prof. Danny Weltman and Prof. Sharon Berry. The Festival was conducted via zoom and well-attended by participants from Ashoka and all over India.
On the Valentine’s weekend 2020, an international philosophy conference took place at the IIC Delhi labeled “Reformed Empiricism and Its Prospects.” Philosophers from the US, UK, Germany, Serbia, Korea, and India came together to discuss Anil Gupta’s most recent book, “Conscious Experience“. The conference was generously funded by Ashoka University, supported by the Philosophy Department, organized by Professor Raja, and assisted by the Departmental Manager, Manasi Thaken.
