I depart satisfied and concerned. Satisfied, in fact enthusiastic with the lecturers. Concerned by the complexity of the problem and the quantity of what I had taken for granted. For me this was a big stimulus for renewed reflection (or starting to reflect) especially about categories which are near and important to me and which earlier seemed – selfevident.
