What is philosophy for? What can a letter do? Political Philosophy in Action

Gonzalo Ramos Pérez (UCM/Harvard Predoctoral Fellow; Department of Philosophy and Society at the Universidad Complutense - Madrid)

 

Date: Wednesday, April 17, 2024, 5:00pm to 6:00pm

Location: Real Colegio Complutense: Conference Room, 26 Trowbridge St.

 

The rapid pace of our modern lives is kept going on by automatized behaviors, driven by a shared common sense that we take for granted. This seminar represents an open invitation for everyone to think about truth, history and the future. Furthermore, have we truly considered all the purposes of a letter? We will use a specific letter as a starting point to explore key philosophical concepts and engage in critical reflection on ourselves, our past, and our future. The final aim of this seminar will be to visit the political essence of philosophy and its relevance to nowadays society.
