Philosophical Tools for Real-World Problems

The Division of Philosophy at KTH is one of the main research hubs in Europe focusing on philosophical issues that are relevant for technology development and implementation. This two-day seminar puts focus on the real-world challenges that philosophers aim to address and the methods they use as part of this endeavor: What real-world problems are philosophers trying to solve, and how can research in disciplines such as philosophy of risk, logic, decision theory and ethics contribute to creating a better society?
