The César Manrique Foundation (FCM) will host next Tuesday, September 10, at 7:00 p.m., at its headquarters in Taro de Tahíche, the meeting between journalist Iñaki Gabilondo and Victoria Camps, professor of Moral and Political Philosophy and permanent member of the Council of State. This activity is part of the centenary of the birth of César Manrique, which the institution that bears his name will celebrate until April 24, 2020.
The conversation between Gabilondo and Camps, entitled 'Ethics for times of transition and uncertainty', will focus on public ethics, political philosophy and bioethics. It is integrated into the cycle 'Four conversations of the future' and is one of the central activities of the centenary program 'César Manrique. 100 years of life'.
With his "journalistic instinct" and his "free word", Iñaki Gabilondo leads four dialogues throughout the year at the FCM "with globally influential people, who are designing the world of the future from their laboratories and offices, and will help us understand what is happening in our accelerated present and what will happen in the future", they explain from the FCM
