About the event

Erasmus and Pico: The Revival of Human Freedom
As part of an ongoing series, 'A History of Western Philosophy', we'll be exploring the thought from the Renaissance to the age of Reason.

About this Event

What does it mean to be human — and can we become more fully ourselves through education, reason, and moral freedom? In this session, we explore Renaissance humanism through the voices of Erasmus and Pico della Mirandola, who placed human dignity at the centre of philosophical reflection. By rethinking the purpose of life and learning, they challenged both rigid dogma and despair. What might their vision of human potential mean for us today?

Suggested Reading: In Praise of Folly by Desiderius Erasmus
