Roman Krznaric is one of Britain's leading social philosophers. He is known for his work on empathy, social change, and the art of living. His book, The Good Ancestor: How to Think Long Term in a Short-Term World, became an instant international best-seller. Krznaric advocates for the power of ideas to bring about change. He has become an influential voice on climate justice through his exploration of intergenerational rights and empathy, which he presents as a trainable skill capable of creating a more compassionate and just world.
Krznaric will be at Bozar as part of the Ecopolis festival to present his new book, History for Tomorrow, Inspiration from the Past for the Future of Humanity (July 2024). Interviewed by Tine Hens, he will explore with the audience historical pathways toward a more sustainable and equitable future, tackling urgent issues ranging from the climate crisis to the risks of artificial intelligence.
