How do crises enter our world? How to talk about them, how to think about them? The war in Ukraine has once again placed before us with urgency the question of such an irrational reality as evil and the situation of crisis.
Independently of each other, the philosophers Emmanuel Falque, among others in his latest book Hors phénomène, and Miroslav Petříček in his latest book Philosophy en noir, have been trying to do so – even before the war in Ukraine – from different positions. In the first part of the evening, both philosophers will present their positions and then discuss them.
Organized in collaboration with Dominican 8.
The evening will be simultaneously interpreted.
Moderated by: Petr Fischer
