Today: A Philosophy of Crisis

The Philosopher and the News event with Miguel de Beistegui and Alexis Papazoglou

Event Time: 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK
“A Philosophy of Crisis”: Miguel de Beistegui with Alexis Papazoglou

In this event, Miguel de Beistegui will trace the intellectual development of ideas about crisis and identify four distinct forms a crisis might take: crises of deviation, exception, contradiction, and extinction. Drawing on a range of examples (from economic crises to social uprisings, pandemics, and ecological devastation) and discourses (from ancient medicine to legal theory, political economy, philosophy, the earth sciences, and ecocriticism), he will offer new conceptual tools for both understanding and avoiding the dangers of our crisis-saturated time.
