Making Philosophy Relevant香港歌德學院

"Philosophy" comes from the greek words meaning "Love of Wisdom". In fact, philosophy is becoming more and more relevant to our life nowadays, as it provides us with tools to think critically, to analyse logically and to reason persuasively.

As the first collaboration between Goethe-Institut Hongkong and Corrupt the Youth, "Making philosophy relevant" introduces some of the more important names and concepts in German philosophy to the general public through a series of 6 talks.
