An online dialogue recorded February 13th, 2021, on the Encounter theme with Paolo Carozza, professor of Law and Director of Kellogg Institute for International Studies, the University of Notre Dame, and Charles Taylor, philosopher and professor emeritus, McGill University
The events of the past months have shattered our illusion of control and humbled pride. Have they also revealed something of value in our humanity which we were neglecting? And, as Stephanie Zacharek asked in her article in the special issue of Time dedicated to the year 2020, "After a year of so many changes, will we change radically too? We learned a lot in 2020–but what, exactly, did we learn?"
Paolo Carozza dialogues on these questions, and delve into the Encounter 2021 theme, with world renowned philosopher Charles Taylor.
