Thinking In a Turmoiled World
Europe is facing one of the biggest crises in its recent history. The Russian invasion of Ukraine seems to be the end of the line in the Europe emerging from the conflicts of the 20th century and jeopardizes the stability to a precarious world order. In this convulsive context, the humanities provide a starting point to guide ourselves through the uncertainty and despair through reflection. We invite two essential voices of contemporary philosophy and history to use the tools of thought to question a present full of unknowns and to recover the possibility of an idea of the future.
