Liberals have been accustomed to thinking that the alternative to the 20th century status quo is authoritarian and barbaric. What if it’s not so cut and dry? In an age of synoptic social media, AI, and democratic populism, liberalism’s core tenets deserve a fresh look. At our first Philosophers’ Happy Hour for the autumn, we’ll litigate these questions with the great Tyler Cowen.
On Thursday, October 2, we’ll be hosting our next Aspen Philosophy and Society + Wisdom of Crowds philosophical happy hour and live podcast recording with Tyler Cowen at Butterworth’s (319 Pennsylvania Ave SE, Washington DC 20003). Please come by for a lively discussion, complementary food, and free drinks on Thursday, October 2.
Doors open at 6:30 pm, the discussion with Tyler Cowen, Samuel Kimbriel and Damir Marusic begins at 7:15 pm, and as always, the party goes as long as you like.
