Barcelona Pensa comes with more activities than ever

Cultura Coinciding with the UNESCO World Philosophy Day, the third Thursday of November, the eighth edition of the festival Barcelona Pensa is here. It will take place from November 15 to 19, in different places of the city of Barcelona, and it includes more than thirty free activities, which take different shapes, and which are innovative and unconventional. Organized by the Faculty of Philosophy since 2014, it has become an unmissable date for philosophy lovers and it aims to disseminate this discipline in its broadest sense: take it outside the academic and bring it to the great audience. The attendees can choose to visit exhibitions, film screenings, book presentations, conferences, plays, concerts, cineforums (film showing and debate) and activities aimed et families, children and adolescents. Maite Larrauri and Concha Roldán, important voices in this edition For the opening and the closing ceremony of this year's edition of the festival, there will be two consolidated voices of the Spanish philosophical scene: Maite Larrauri, who will focus her conference on common sense, and Concha Roldán, who will close the festival talking about the lack of women in the official history of philosophy. COVID-19 will also be the focus of two roundtables. We can enjoy a philosophical reflection on what the pandemic has meant, with thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic.
