In a multi-crisis and rapidly changing world such as the one we are currently living in, our own humanity faces crucial challenges. Conflicts and wars, as well as social and political contexts in which propaganda, manipulation and conformism, violence, hate speech, and abuse of power overflow, make philosophical reflection on what remains of humanity and how to promote its flourishing all the more compelling.

 

In this School, we aim to explore this issue from a variety of philosophical perspectives, combining a theoretical approach with more practical and applied ones (to read the full text of the call, see here).
