Lecture by Simona Forti

Simona Forti, one of Europe’s leading philosophers, reminds us that there are immaterial debts that are equally or more important than economic debts. She highlights the crucial contribution of Greek culture—from philosophy and science through to democratic politics—in what we nowadays think of as the foundations of European culture. Questioning and rethinking the European project, Forti espouses the position of philosophers like Socrates, always open to discussion and an example of the critical attitude that is more necessary than ever today.
