Public lecture 'Philosophy to the rescue' in Boerhaave

On January 29th, we organize with Rijksmuseum Boerhaave the public lecture 'Philosophy to the rescue'.

Four stories, four thought-provoking new perspectives on pressing societal issues. These philosophers are not the type to spend their time buried in books, musing about the world, and speaking in riddles filled with long words - well, at least not all their time. Driven by a desire to tackle complex real-world problems, they apply their philosophy skills to grasp urgent social, technological, or political challenges.

 

The topics and speakers’ names will remain a surprise for now.

 

Where: Rijksmuseum Boerhaave, lecture hall

When: 29 January 2026, 19.00 - 20.00

Cost: Free with a museum ticket or student card/Museumcard
