“Wittgenstein and Classical German Philosophy” (University of Warsaw, 2021), "Wittgenstein and Classical German Philosophy: Self-consciousness and Self-reference" (University of Barcelona, 2022), the upcoming workshop in Vienna aims to foster a dialogue between the Classical German Philosophy and the Wittgenstein scholarship.
