Roman Krznaric on history and radical hope
Event Time: 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK
“History for the Future of Humanity”: Roman Krznaric with Alexis Papazoglou
What can humankind’s rich history of radical revolts teach us about the power of disobedience to tackle the climate crisis? What inspiration could we take from eighteenth century Japan to create a regenerative economy today? How might understanding the origins of capitalism spark ideas for bringing AI under control?
In this event, leading social philosopher Roman Krznaric will discuss fascinating insights and inspiration from the last 1000 years of world history that could help us confront the most urgent challenges facing humanity in the twenty-first century. From bridging the inequality gap and reducing the risks of genetic engineering, to reviving our faith in democracy and avoiding ecological collapse, this conversation will show that history is not simply a means of understanding the past but a way of reimagining our relationship with the future. In fact, Krznaric will argue, history offers a vision of radical hope that could turn out to be our most vital tool for surviving and thriving in the turbulent decades ahead.You can find out more and register here.
