Influential muslim intellectuals Tariq Ramadan and Ziauddin Sardar, along with Chair John Chalcraft of the LSE Government Department, met to discuss the dangers of Orientalist readings of Islam and its 'nativist’ reduction as a 'penal code', and to furmulate a series of prospects for Muslim in Europe and the rest of the world.

He is best known for his contemporary version of Hegel's 'end of art' thesis, first enunciated in 1984 and most recently developed in his book After the End of Art.
On the occasion of his first visit to the UK in many years,
Danto met with Richard Shusterman, Jean-Pierre Cometti and
Nicolas Vieillescazes for a one-day conference on contemporary
