Histoire complète :
The President and Founder of the Philosophical Encounters of Monaco, Charlotte Casiraghi, spoke to Monaco Info ahead of the upcoming PhiloMonaco Week. Casiraghi emphasized the importance of this philosophical event, which will take place from June 11th to 16th. One of the highlights of the week will be the presentation of a magazine by young philosophers, aiming to introduce children to the world of philosophy. Casiraghi believes that in a world currently experiencing significant disruptions and an overload of information, it is crucial to nurture the curiosity and critical thinking of young people to empower them amidst this overwhelming flow of anxiety-inducing information.
Another important topic addressed during the interview was the impact of smartphones on our lives and the perceived “need” for constant connection. Casiraghi acknowledged that communication between humans has always been challenging, and it is through philosophy that we can question, doubt, and understand the world. She emphasized the importance of accessible communication that can effectively transmit ideas and improve clarity.
Casiraghi concluded her interview by inviting everyone to participate in PhiloMonaco Week, emphasizing that philosophy is not reserved for an elite few. Rather, it should infuse and permeate society. She encouraged people to engage in philosophical reflection because these are topics that concern us all, and because philosophy is the most concrete thing in the world.
