Between Socrates and Silicon Valley: Philosophy in the Digital Age

 with Enrique Alarcón, professor of Metaphysics and Fundamentals of Philosophy.

Today we talk about a topic that, although it is not always trending topic, touches our way of living, thinking... and being. Let's talk about Philosophy. But not as something from the past, distant or academic, but as a profoundly current issue. Because, in the midst of the digital age, what sense does it still make to ask fundamental questions?

Is it possible to philosophize on TikTok? What would Aristotle do with a YouTube channel? Is it possible to stop and think in the middle of an infinite scroll?

To talk about all this, we are joined by Enrique Alarcón, professor of the department of Philosophy at the University of Navarra.
