Please join us for drinks and a curator’s talk about culture and power.
Most societies distinguish between our material existence and the spiritual forces that shape our lives. In modern Europe, this idea took the form of a struggle between culture and power. Chief Curator Joes Segal will discuss the ideas of various modern philosophers, including Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Foucault, Said, and Huntington, in an attempt to illuminate how they might or might not shed light on our current state of affairs.
