Festival of philosophies in Palermo
The Festival of Philosophies isback in Palermo, with its fourth edition. The festival is organized by the Lympha Association and consists of events scattered around Palermo, which will take place Oct. 2-31, 2021.
A fall event not to be missed, which this year focuses on the theme of The Cure. In particular, given the conditions we have been in for the past two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic emergency, the philosophy aims to take a stand, analyze the ethical aspect of each choice, and give ample space for ideas.
The Festival, which opened Saturday, Oct. 2, at Palazzo Chiaramonte (Steri), is dedicated to Gino Strada. It is also implemented thanks to the support of the European Social Fund of the Sicilian Region under the 2014-2020 programming. Each venue chosen for the appointments is related to the topic covered during the meeting.
