Joan Fontcuberta, photographer, conceptual artist, teacher, essayist, critic and art promoter specialized in photography, and Axel Honneth, German philosopher and sociologist and one of the most prominent figures of the so-called third generation of the Frankfurt School, will be the next guests to give Ferrater Mora Lectures at our University. Joan Fontcuberta will do so from October 7 to 11, 2024 and Axel Honneth will do so in April 2025. Soon we will be able to give you details of the program of the lessons.
On 16 April, Dr. Josep-Maria Terricabras, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, founder and honorary director of the Ferrater Mora Chair of Contemporary Thought, left us.
The sadness for the loss is only compensated by the great recognition we owe him as a teacher and by the joie de vivre he transmitted to us at all times.
Prof. Joan Vergés Gifra, current director of the Chair, has published this tribute article in the newspaper ARA: “Terricabras por ejemplo”.
