# History of Philosophy Workshop ![harvard history of philosophy workshop meeting](/sites/g/files/omnuum4731/files/mcdonough/files/bdbazvwi.jpeg) The Harvard History of Philosophy Workshop brings together scholars, students, and community members interested in the history of philosophy across all periods and traditions. We meet intermittently during the course of the academic year to discuss work in progress. A list of upcoming events can be found below.
