Workshop “Democratic Culture(s)”
10 December 2016 @ 10:30 - 14:00
Democracy is an object of political, philosophical and artistic conceptualization. Since Ancient Greece, it has been seen and performed in a variety of ways. The workshop aims to explore the relationship between “democracy” and “culture” in different philosophical traditions and revisit the problem of the universal rationale underlying the notion of democratic culture.
