Kolloquium zum Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Lawrence M. Krauss (ERC-Vorlesung)

Since 2009 the International Centre for Philosophy NRW hosts an annual lecture of excellence in honour of Ernst Robert Curtius. This event consists of two parts: a lecture and a colloquium. Our guest speaker this year is Professor Dr. Lawrence M. Krauss (Arizona State University).

The colloquium is related to the topic of Professor Krauss’ talk “Cosmology for Philosophers”. It begins at 12 a.m.

Professor Krauss is a theoretical physicist and founder of the “School of Earth and Space Exploration” at Arizona State University. He is the author of several international bestsellers (including The Physics of Star Trek, A Universe from Nothing: Why tthere is Something Rather Than Nothing). As a public intellectual he is often present in the media where he speaks on the topics related to science and educational policy, as well as those related to philosophical problems.
