We will close of the month February with a traditional pub lecture at Proeflokaal Faas at 20:00. Yogi Hendlin will provide us with a challenging pub lecture. He has written something himself about this upcoming lecture:

“Our age is one of denial. Denial is an epistemological problem, wrapped up in the technical aspects of ignorance, fantasy, numbing, and pretending. It can become a drug, and it can become a grand delusion. Thus, philosophers of all stripes, and historians of science, have in recent decades begun dissecting how ignorance is perpetuated throughout a system, as well as the different types of ignorance the crop up predictably. This talk will discuss this phenomenon through the lens of “agnotology,” a concept developed by Robert Proctor. Dr. Hendlin will use examples from his own research on the tobacco, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and fossil fuel industries.”
