A Revealing Conference
The philosopher Enric F. Gel gave a lecture on Tuesday, June 4 at the Ateneu Barcelonès, exploring the relationship between evolution and morality. During the talk, Gel cited thinkers and scientists such as Hegel, Kant and Darwin, offering a unique view on this subject.
The Role of Philosophy
Gel emphasized the importance of philosophy, ethics and critical reflection as compasses to guide us in life. He raised the idea that moral intuitions are influenced by their evolutionary origin, opening a debate about objective moral realism and the theory of evolution.
Deep Reflections
The speaker speculated about how moral intuitions might be different if we could go back in human evolution. In addition, he pointed out that evolutionary progress does not guarantee an automatic improvement of society, opening the door to a deeper reflection on the future of humanity.
Fruitful dialogue
After the conference, an enriching dialogue was established between Enric F. Gel and the audience, encouraging an interaction that expanded the reflections raised during the talk.
