Philosophers. The importance (or not) of being Jewish

Tuesday, January 16, 2024

Cycle of lectures 2024

Lecture within the cycle "Philosophers. The importance (or not) of being Jewish"

The cycle consists of a series of lectures about a group of thinkers who have left a mark on contemporary Western culture and who share a common trait: the fact of being Jewish, understood as this condition, from a cultural and contextual perspective, more than from the point of view of religious or community belonging. We are interested in highlighting the intellectual and humanistic contributions that these thinkers have made to our culture and, at the same time, asking ourselves if it makes sense to relate their work to a sociocultural origin linked to Judaism.
