Time: 19:00 - 20:30
Venue: The JM Synge Theatre, The Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin
In a world flooded with competing narratives, does truth still hold value? And if so, what role does it play in shaping our beliefs and actions? John Divers, Professor of Moral Philosophy and an expert on the nature of possibility and necessity, will explore how truth shapes our understanding of the world and why it should continue to matter in modern life.
This event is part of Philosophy Today 2025, the popular public lecture series that explores how philosophy engages with the challenges of the modern world. Through six thought-provoking talks followed by interactive Q&A sessions, Trinity College Dublin’s philosophers share insights from their latest research, connecting philosophical ideas to some of today’s most pressing issues.
