Cities are not just places. They are arenas in which the most urgent philosophical questions about power, justice, materiality, and collective life take concrete form. A long-standing tradition in philosophy has engaged urban life as an object of reflection (Simmel, Addams, Dewey and Chicago Sociology, Lefebvre, Sennet etc.). With this position, we aim to build on that tradition and also explore avenues for the cross-fertilization of philosophical insight and the study of concrete urban contexts.
