IAI Live May: Attention in the Age of Distraction

This event examines whether the era of ideological blocs is giving way to a world shaped by geography, power, and resources. As US foreign policy shifts away from liberal democratic alliances and towards continental control and transactional partnerships, the idea of “the West” appears to be fracturing. With US ambitions extending across the American continent and a willingness to pursue trade relationships with rivals while criticising Europe, the stability of value-based alliances is increasingly uncertain. Is this a dangerous return to brute force politics, or can European nations rearm and forge a new, stable balance of power?

IAI Live July: Catching Sight of the Universe

This event examines whether cosmology can coherently describe the universe as a complete whole. Critics argue such a project requires an impossible external viewpoint and self-referential explanation, while observations remain limited to the visible universe. With quantum theory further complicating measurement, should we abandon the idea of a single cosmic account in favour of partial models, or could new approaches still deliver a unified picture of reality?

IAI Live August: The Metamodernist Turn

This event examines whether metamodernism offers a viable path beyond the limits of realism and postmodernism. As realism’s certainty appears increasingly implausible and postmodern scepticism undermines even itself, metamodernism proposes a synthesis of irony and sincerity, treating truth as meaningful while recognising our reliance on models. Does this framework provide a credible account of truth and knowledge, or does it risk collapsing into relativism?
