Public lecture 'test'

Four stories, four thought-provoking new perspectives on pressing societal issues. These philosophers are not the type to spend their time buried in books, musing about the world, and speaking in riddles filled with long words - well, at least not all their time. Driven by a desire to tackle complex real-world problems, they apply their philosophy skills to grasp urgent social, technological, or political challenges.

The theme of the four short talks is: 'Voice, politics, and responsibility'.
