Uitreiking Spinozalens en Spinozalezing Kwame Anthony Appiah
Op 24 november – de geboortedag van Spinoza – ontvangt Kwame Anthony Appiah de Spinozalens 2016 uit handen van de burgemeester van Amsterdam. Tevens wordt Appiahs boek De erecode gepresenteerd. Appiah houdt vervolgens de Spinozalezing met als thema ‘Challenges of Identity’.
'In this lecture, I will explore some of the challenges posed for us by various forms of religious and national identity, and show how some of our regular misunderstandings of each of them create difficulties for social and political life. Philosophy, I believe, is most helpful not in telling people what they should do, but in providing conceptual clarity about the options they face. Nowhere is this more needed today than in facing questions about religion, nationalism and the connections between the two.' - Kwame Anthony Appiah
