The fourth edition of the Annual Philosophy Lecture organised by the Philosophy Sharing Foundation will be held on Friday at 7.30pm at St James Cavalier, Valletta.

This year’s lecture will be delivered by Karl Borg, a University philosophy graduate. Borg has been teaching philosophy for the past 35 years. He worked close to Matthew Lipman and studied under John Dewey, specialising in the pathology of language in the UK and the US. He is also the founder of the educational Institute of St Thomas and co-founder of the Malta Institute of Philosophy for Children and the Young.

The lecture is titled Il-Kurċifissjoni, Ħampti Dampti u l-bażi tal-filosofija u l-għarfien uman (The Crucifixion, Hampty Dumpty and the basis of philosophy and human knowledge) and will be delivered in Maltese. Borg will be exploring the basis of philosophy and knowledge in the context of human’s greatest challenge: the mystery of existence and of the human condition.

The main thrust of the lecture will concern the hermeneutical issues surrounding the theory and philosophy of human logosynthesis.
