Václav Havel’s Compass: On Truth

The third evening in the Václav Havel’s Compass debate series will focus on truth as one of the central values of Havel’s thinking. In this instance truth is not merely a concept, but also a personal and civic commitment – a call to live authentically, responsibly and in relation to others.  

In a dialogue between philosophers Daniel Kroupa and Filip Karfík, questions will be raised about the relationship between truth and freedom as well as its significance in a contemporary society marked by a loss of trust. How can we understand truth today, and can it still be a pillar of human and social behaviour?
