“Why are we seeing the worldwide emergence of highly authoritarian regimes?”

Here’s the February forum of “Ethical Issues in Our Times.” 

“Why are we seeing the worldwide emergence of highly authoritarian regimes?”

For more than a decade, representative governments have been under attack across the world: from Orban in Hungary to Modi in India from Putin in Russia to Xi in China, from Trump in the US to Bolsonaro in Brazil, from Duarte in the Philippines to the generals in Myanmar, and across most of Africa. Are the causes the same? Can we make sense of why this is happening? What, if anything, can we do about it? Let’s explore this together.        

Join us in discussing these pressing social issues, in a discussion led by Dr. David Sprintzen, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Long Island University. Please be advised: Because of recent unpleasant interruptions, our zoom will be closed at 7:10pm, and no one will be allowed to join thereafter.   

This is the February installment of “Ethical Issues in OurTimes”: a product of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island. 

Thursday, February 2nd, from 7-9pm on zoom at:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/896985586Dr.
