What’s being debated
«¿Nos salvará la cultura?» questions whether culture serves as a tool to build future imaginaries or, instead, fuels global conflicts. Antonio Monegal, Professor of Literary Theory and Comparative Literature, will open the session with insights from his essay Como el aire que respiramos: El sentido de la cultura (National Essay Prize 2023). Amador Fernández-Savater, independent researcher and activist, will follow with a discussion based on his book La batalla del pensamiento (2026).
Who’s taking part
Antonio Monegal is a writer and professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, specialising in literary theory and contemporary culture. Amador Fernández-Savater, known as the "pirate philosopher," blends activism, publishing, and independent research. Together, they’ll examine how culture can give meaning to existence amid a global crisis.
