Radical Democracy
Radical Democracy
Moderation: Fernanda Henriques
Recent times have brought us an open crisis in democracy. With extremist policies gaining institutional ground and in the face of news of various forms of violence arising from the supposed difficulty of people with different perspectives and multiple origins living together, it is important to listen to voices that recognise the plurality of the world and consider this diversity as a creative wealth and not as a source of permanent conflict. The proposal for an ethics for a pluralistic world by Spanish philosopher Adela Cortina is, in this context, an important contribution to opening spaces for healthier and more respectful coexistence, which allow for an ethical life for ourselves and future generations.
