The event aims to open up the philosophy discussion to people of all ages by offering workshops and lectures suitable for every academic background. The Riyadh Philosophy Conference will feature an interactive space that will include a high-tech Philosophy Tree that explores the subject of unpredictability through history.
They also offer a children’s space so you can get the kids questioning the future. The space includes two workshops per day for children aged 12 and 13. While bookworms will love the amazing library and the dedicated reading village aimed at kids.
The Riyadh Philosophy Conference will also explore topics like new scientific paradigms, neuro-philosophy and the vastness of time, as seen through the theme of unpredictability.
