The reading seminars are run along the lines of reading groups, led by a member of Institute staff. The ethos is one of discussion and interchange of ideas between scholars. Interested students and staff are asked to commit themselves to attending all sessions and to reading in advance the set texts for discussion at each seminar.
Numbers are limited to a maximum of fifteen per course.
To register for one of the reading groups listed below, you should complete the registration form and return it at the earliest opportunity to the Research Degrees Section of the Registry. We may add one or two reading groups to this list during the course year. Students will be notified of any additions through mail and e-mail. This reading group will explore the key concepts in the hermaneutic theory of Hans-Georg Gadamer. Students who attended the Hermaneutics reading group in the 1999-2000 academic session should note that this is a revision of the same group.
