• Thumos is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a three-day conference (20–22 May 2026). The event will bring together some forty early-career philosophers who have been trained within its ranks. It is an opportunity to take a retrospective look at the major advances in the philosophy of emotions over the past two decades and to outline the most promising avenues for future research in the field. It will allow us to fully appreciate the contribution that Thumos has made to the philosophical exploration of affectivity. Attendance is free. Poster and full programme can be found here.
   
• We are delighted to announce that Agnès Baehni will defend her PhD thesis « Relating Morally to Oneself » on the 28th of May 2026 (time and location here).
