Pluartis Symposium 2026: Philosophy Arena
Keynote: Why Plato Matters Now

How can we relearn the crucial art of dialogue? What is involved in living a good life? And how can we protect a democracy from being subverted into autocracy by an opportunistic demagogue? In this keynote based on her recent book, Professor Angie Hobbs explores how the ancient Greek philosopher Plato can help with all these urgent questions and many more – love and friendship; heroism and
celebrity; art and censorship.
