The 2012 Philosophy Public Lecture Series

Philosophy and the Economic Crisis

Philosophy has always gained strength from its engagement with the world around us, and in turn may help us to understand this world in which we live. In this series of lectures, philosophers and philosophically-minded scholars from other disciplines analyse the financial and economic crisis that has overtaken western economies in the last five years. How does it relate to our political and social philosophies? What does it mean for our ideas of Europe? Can philosophy contribute to our understanding or even point out directions we could follow to help get us out of this crisis? Will the crisis be resolved by a return to 'business as usual' - or is a whole new philosophy of economics or indeed of life on the point of emerging?

All lectures are held in LT2 and begin at 6.30pm
