📚 Lecture: "The Seduction of Unfreedom: A Philosophical Discussion"

🎤 Speaker: Prof. Carlo Invernizzi Accetti


Join us for a compelling evening with Professor Carlo Invernizzi Accetti as he delves into the intriguing question of why individuals sometimes prefer authority over freedom in various aspects of life, from political systems to organized religion and everyday choices.


In this insightful lecture, Prof. Accetti will engage with classic texts from the western philosophical and literary traditions, including Plato's Republic, Jean Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, and Fyodor Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov. Through this exploration, he will analyze the complex relationship between freedom and authority, uncovering the psychological and social factors that lead to a preference for unfreedom.


Prof. Carlo Invernizzi Accetti is a Professor of Political Theory at The City College of New York (CUNY) and teaches European Politics at Columbia University. He is the author of several books, including the forthcoming "Twenty Years of Rage: From the No Global to the No Vax," and a regular commentator for prestigious publications like the New York Times and the Guardian.


Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with thought-provoking ideas that challenge our understanding of freedom and authority.
