Should we try to live forever? Make machines that can outthink us? Create perfect kids?
HUBweek hosted an unprecedented civic event, led by one of the world’s leading political philosophers, in an iconic Boston setting: Faneuil Hall, on Sunday October 4th.
Harvard’s Michael Sandel has been described as “the most relevant living philosopher,” a “rockstar moralist,” (Newsweek) and “currently the most popular professor in the world.” (Die Zeit)
During the Fenway Forum at Faneuil Hall, he led an all-star panel featuring Arianna Huffington, Yo-Yo Ma, Alexis Wilkinson, Andrew McAfee and Sherry Turkle in a lively discussion—with audience participation—about some hard ethical questions and the meaning of citizenship today.
The event featured special musical performances by the Silk Road Ensemble.
