CFP: Philosophical Activism Conference
This is not an Integrity Project event, but may well be of interest.
Philosophical Activism, 30-31 October 2014, Centre for Humanities Engaging Science and Society (CHESS), Durham University, Durham (UK)
Philosophy as an academic field has become increasingly interested in the epistemic, political, ethical, social, and moral complexities that surround public policy deliberations.

This cartoon seems to capture Hannah Arendt’s notion of the ‘lying world order’, the theme of our next Portraits of Integrity meeting!

Thanks to Alfred Archer for sending this video.
