What is a free society?
Is the way that we do things today always much better than in the past?
These are two questions we're going to discuss in the next workshop
The Great Philosophers
We are going to look at two philosophers in this workshop.
The first, a very famous philosopher, Emmanuel Kant
from the 18th Century
We're basically going to discuss some of his biggest ideas
One of his questions is
Do we live in a free society?
What does that mean?
Is a free society where we are free to do anything we want?
Or is it when the government helps us to become the best version of ourselves?
This was Kant's belief.
So this is one of the questions we will discuss from him.
and many more.
Then also looking at Michel Foucault.
The 20th Century philosopher
He was very controversial.
He was more of a historical philosopher.
and he really wanted to look at history
and see what we can learn from history
to improve our lives today.
So for example
Looking at mental health
Do we treat people with mental health disorders better today than we did hundreds of years ago?
Criminals, prisons
Are the prisons today better?
and the way we treat them?
than 200 years ago
when people where executed in the streets?
So this is just some of the questions we will examine
with Michel Foucault.
Both two very interesting philosophers
that you can learn about
