Join us for "Philosophy as a Public Enterprise," a talk with renowned philosopher Lewis Gordon.

Themes discussed include the importance of philosophy's historic mission beyond "western" philosophy's hegemony and reductionism; the decline and erasure of that mission under Euromodern colonialism; the challenge of transcending declining ideas of philosophy; and what it means to be a philosopher committed to the public today.

AICRE + Philosophy is a PIVOT series sponsored by the School of Humanities Equity Advisor and Special Assistant to the Dean and presented by the Africana Institute for Creativity, Recognition, and Elevation and the Department of Philosophy.
