Wir sind wieder da!

Our “Wir sind wieder da!” series concludes with a different event on Monday 15 April. For our fifth and final event we are joined by artist and curator Androula Kafa, as well as academic philosopher Dr Christos Hadjioannou, with whom the Goethe-Institut Cyprus is producing a podcast on the occasion of 300 years since the birth of German philosopher Immanuel Kant.

What do you know about Kant? What would Kant think about artificial intelligence? If you are interested in or curious about philosophy, join us for a relaxed discussion and maybe even take part in a fun quiz.
