You are invited to "Democracy and Tyranny"

Join us for our forthcoming virtual event

In recent decades, there’s no doubt that an increasing number of people have become concerned that changes, such as the influence of social media, have led to breakdown in civil discourse about politics. It’s no coincidence that philosophy originated in ancient Greece, alongside the birth of democracy. Ancient philosophers saw countering the negative influence of political rhetoric as one of their greatest challenges, and most important duties. Philosophy can still help us today!

That’s why we chose to call our next virtual event Democracy and Tyranny. It’s a chance to explore the role of philosophy in defending democracy and challenging tyranny, by encouraging critical thinking and civil discourse about the big issues that affect our society.
