On embedded questions – Experimental data and a theoretical account
In this talk, professor of philosophy, Alejandra Mancilla, asks who should be the political representatives in a place with no human inhabitants, namely, Antarctica. While the Antarctic Treaty has been celebrated as a successful legal instrument for the protection of the continent, some have criticized its elitist nature and demanded a more democratic system of governance. But, should only humans be part of this arrangement? Why not penguins and maybe icebergs too?

The workshop is part of the project “Rethinking the Soviet experiment: Ukrainian and Russian perspectives” (RSE) which brings together scholars of 20th c.
