Together with the PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY OF MACEDONIA for the Month of the BRITISH PHILOSOPHY, we organized lectures of two eminent lecturers from Oxford University, Great Britain. The lectures were held on February 6, 2015. (Friday) at the Amphitheater of the International Slavic University “Gavrilo Romanovich Derzhavin” – Sveti Nikole.
- Professor Stephen Priest
“Philosophical issues” – beginning at 12:00pm
Ms. Kerry Smolen
“Why Britain?” – starting at 02:00pm
Stephen Priest, a philosophy professor at one of the oldest colleges at Oxford University, said that there was a plan for the University of Sveti Nikole to gain global importance and expressed his satisfaction that together with Oxford University would be able to contribute to that field.
He taught at universities in the United States and Europe. His works have been translated into Macedonian, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, Japanese and Korean. At MANU in 2007, his book Theories for the Mind, translated by Dr. Risto Solunchev (Az-Buki, Skopje), was promoted. This is his first visit to Sveti Nikole.
On Monday, February 9, the professors will also hold lectures in front of the students of the MoCA in Bitola.
