DESCRIPTION:European Book Club with Tomasz Stawiszyński, Ewa Atanassow, and Karolina
Wigura
The discussion will be held in English
What drives societal polarisation, and how does it shape the future of
democracy in Europe? Join philosophers Tomasz Stawiszyński, Ewa Atanassow
and Karolina Wigura for a conversation bringing their American, German, and
Polish experiences into dialogue.
How do different experiences of transformation continue to influence
political attitudes and expectations of democracy? Which social dynamics
leave democratic institutions vulnerable? And what can the similarities and
differences between eastern Germany and Poland teach us about Europe’s
future?
 
Tomasz Stawiszyński, Polish philosopher and author of several books on
societal polarisation and the challenges of modernity. His books are
published in Polish; English translations of selected texts are available
on request.
Ewa Atanassow, Professor of Politics at Bard College Berlin whose
research focuses on the troubled relationship between liberalism and
democracy.
Karolina Wigura, Senior Fellow at the Center for Liberal Modernity (Berlin)
and Research Associate at Oxford School of Global and Area Studies
(University of Oxford). 
 
Location: Zentrum Liberale Moderne, Reinhardtstraße 15, 10117 Berlin
