Thinking From Everywhen: Philosophy, Indigenous Knowledge & Perspectives

This workshop asks how Western Philosophy should proceed if it takes seriously the challenge of decolonisation and of opening a respectful dialogue with Indigenous philosophies and knowledge systems. It explores ways to improve the plurality of the Philosophy discipline by recognising First Nations perspectives and Indigenous ways of knowing.
