Lorentz Lecture - Philosophy to the rescue

29 January 2026

Lecture

Four stories, four thought-provoking new perspectives on pressing societal issues.

29 January 2026, 19:00
Lecture hall
For adults

These philosophers are not the type to spend their time buried in books, musing about the world, and speaking in riddles filled with long words - well, at least not all their time. Driven by a desire to tackle complex real-world problems, they apply their philosophy skills to grasp urgent social, technological, or political challenges. Discover the important role philosophy plays in all these different scientific fields!

The topics and speakers’ names will remain a surprise for now.

This public lecture is part of the week-long Lorentz Center workshop ‘Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Research: Towards a Community’. Everybody who is interested, is welcome to join this public lecture.
