Picture

From anesthesiology to antinomies, from logic to language, from engineering to epiphanies. Prof. Stig Andur Pedersen has like no other thought profoundly about them all, tirelessly taught them all and deeply touched us all. On the occasion of his retirement as Professor of Philosophy of Science at Roskilde University, we honour his exquisite scholarship, his devotion to science and philosophy and his wonderful personae that for more than four decades has inspired and enlightened us.

Participation in the symposium is free, but please register by sending an e-mail to Klaus Frovin Jørgensen at frovin@ruc.dk
