A traditional international format in which graduate students and young scientists from different countries gather to discuss topical philosophical problems under the guidance of recognized experts.
The Summer School of Philosophy is a program of intensive lectures and seminars with the participation of prominent world experts in the fields of research on the problems of consciousness, free will and moral responsibility. The organiser of the Summer School of Philosophy is the Center for the Consciousness Studies (CCS) - a research unit founded by Doctor of Philosophy Dmitry Volkov.
The Summer Philosophical School is held every 2 years, starting with 2014. The first school was devoted to the topic of free will and moral responsibility, led by Professor John Fisher. The topic of the second school, which took place in 2016 in Riga, was the question of the relationship between freedom of will and consciousness. The participants were able to discuss topical philosophical problems with the famous expert Derk Pereboom and to arrange philosophical debates in the very center of the historical part of the city.
