The Moral Limits of Democracy
Thursday, 10 October 2024
What does the term "democracy" mean today? It is traditionally understood as "majority rule," but now includes concepts like social equality, freedom of speech, rights, civil liberties, and the politics of persuasion.
This raises the question of whether there are justified exceptions to our respecting majority decisions: a question that is of special interest in a political climate where “populism” is typically used as a term of disapproval.
Join philosophers from Trinity College Dublin for a thought-provoking discussion on the true meaning of democracy.
Time: 7.00PM - 8.30PM
Location: JM Synge Theatre, The Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin
Cost: €7.00
