In this interactive philosophy session, the audience is invited to think together about the question “can a map be correct?”. At first glance, that might seem like a simple question, but beneath the surface lies a complex whole of metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of science. However, do not be deterred by these big words. This session requires no prior knowledge and is suitable for all ages. This session is guided by philosophers David Oppong and Jakob de Smaele. That does not mean they will be doing all the talking. On the contrary. Just like in a normal conversation, they will also listen to what you have to say. In this way, they hope, in a Socratic manner, to reach a conclusion together. Speakers: David Oppong and Jakob de Smaele (photo)
