Book Talk « La philosophie selon Squid Game »
Last year, K-drama Squid Game became a global hit and made everyone talk about its depicted ultra-violent universe. Over the episodes and the ordeals experienced by the characters, the audience are confronted with a lot of questions: What value should be given to human existence? What is a just society? To what extent are we willing to sacrifice our lives and those of others?
Therefore, more than just entertainment, Squid Game proves to also be a great philosophical question box! With the help of Rousseau, Kant, Plato, Nietzsche, and many others, Olivier Dhilly, associate professor philosophy, tries to answer all these philosophical questions posed by the hit series.
The conference will be followed by a Q&A session and an opportunity to get your copy of the book signed by the author.
For those who want to buy a copy, can do so during the event.
