Year 1: A Philosophical Recounting in Light of a Common Future

Philosophy and history come together in a different way than we have used these two disciplines in the past. That requires a need of a philosophical reorientation with a new way of doing philosophy in the traditional sense of the term, but that is not merely critical theory, not just critique, not just theoretical understanding would. Recent incidents around the world such as Arab Spring or demonstrations in Hong Kong highlighted the requirement of a new way of philosophy based on secular thinking. The new way of philosophy insists on a secular understanding of our common problems in order to allow for the broadest possible inclusion of beliefs.
