Monday 9th December
Truth, Expertise, and Democracy
Michael Hannon and Elise Woodard with Jonathan Benson
This event will consider the vexed relationship between politics and truth, as well as the role of experts in a democratic society. How can truth claims be weaponized for political domination? Are there objective political truths, and, if so, how are we to know them? What are the potential conflicts between democratic principles and expert authority? How are we to identify experts, and what are the various sources of scepticism about political expertise?
Monday 16th December
Hegel and Colonialism
Daniel James, Karen Ng, Franz Knappik, and Jamila Mascat with Andrés Saenz de Sicilia
In surprisingly detailed discussions scattered throughout much of his late work, G.W.F. Hegel offers assessments that legitimise colonialism in the Americas, the enslavement of Africans, and British rule in India. This conversation will explore how central issues in his philosophy, such as freedom, personhood and the dialectic of lordship and bondage are deeply entangled with his disturbing views on colonialism, slavery, and race.
