Philosophy and Nazism (the Forum)

23 March 2017, 6:00 pm8:00 pm

Event Navigation

Nazism pervaded every level of German society, and philosophers were not immune. While much scholarship has understandably focused on recriminations of key figures, tonight’s panel reflect on some broader questions raised: Can philosophy help us understand the nature of evil? And does thinking philosophically really help us live better lives?
