The New Directions in Social Hermeneutics online conference cycle explores the potential of the hermeneutic approach to social reality. Showing some of its new directions, this conference discusses topics such as hermeneutical injustice, ideologies, identities, and addresses the application of the hermeneutic paradigm to areas such as the environment or applied ethics.

This cycle is hosted by the Center for Classical and Humanistic Studies (CECH) of the University of Coimbra, as part of its Permanent seminar Critical History of Reason from Antiquity to Contemporary Times. All sessions are broadcast via Zoom and later available in the cycle playlist on the CECH YouTube Channel.

Attached are the posters for the fourth session and the complete program for the cycle.
