Support over the years has been, and continues to be provided by the Boston University Center for the Humanities. Some 69 philosophers were guests of the Boston University Ethics Seminar between 2008 and 2016 (these visitors are listed on the old website). Photos of some of our earlier speakers were taken by Irina Mikhalevich. Here are a selection.
