The group recognises the interdisciplinary nature of much Modern European (or ‘Continental’) Philosophy. \n\n\n\nIt also recognises the productive ways in which researchers in other areas have appropriated and transformed this philosophical history. Our members undertake research in both traditional and non-traditional philosophical forms. \n\n\n\nSupported by AHEAD \n\n\n\nAHEAD is the public engagement programme of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Manchester Metropolitan University.
