A PHILOSOPHICAL TALK ON ART AND LAW with Professor ANTHONY JULIUS

The CCIIF Conferences – The Research Center for the History and Circulation of Philosophical Ideas, subordinated to the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Bucharest, is pleased to announce that the special guest of this year`s cycle of lectures-interviews is Professor ANTHONY JULIUS. The dialogue is occasioned by a large interest of our philosophical community towards two of his impressive books, Transgressions. The Offences of Art (Thames & Hudson Ltd, 2002) and Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism in England (Oxford University Press, 2010). Professor Anthony Julius is Chair in Law and the Arts at University College London, and Deputy Chairman of London law firm Mishcon de Reya, joined as Chairman of Oxera’s Governing Board in November 2012. He has three careers—as a highly regarded litigation lawyer; as a member of a number of commercial and not-for-profit boards; and as an academic and author. He has degrees from Cambridge University and University College London. As an attorney, Anthony Julius has represented Princess Diana and has famously argued for Holocaust historian Deborah Lipstadt against David Irving. The dialogue with professor Julius, devoted to his books, will engage judicial, political and cultural approaches, and will be hosted by Oana Șerban, Executive Director of CCIF and professor at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Bucharest.
