Dear Colleagues at the Departments of Philosophy
We are organising a small workshop on the significance of plants in
philosophy and literature at the Helsinki Collegium, January 10, 2008
(10am -- 3pm). The focus is on the question of how plants reflect the most
important aspects of human life: emotion, mortality and sensation.
The program is pasted below in this message. Tzachi Zamir's article
that forms the basis of his presentation is available as a pdf from Miira
Tuominen ().
Welcome!
