Evening Philosophy at Kulturbodega Bellis - Why Does Culture Often End in Conflict?

Evening Philosophy - culture and conflict: Tuesday 10 November 2026, 17:00–18:00, Kulturbodega Bellis, Aarhus. Tickets cost 75 kr.

Folkeuniversitetet and professor of intellectual history Mikkel Thorup invite you to a series of philosophical evening lectures at Kulturbodega Bellis. Each session takes a current question as its starting point and pairs it with a text from a previous turning point in history - from Kant, Marx and Weber to Freud, Orwell and Judith Shklar.

This session explores Sigmund Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents" from 1929, written as Europe moved toward fascism and new war. Drawing on Freud's ideas about the tension between human drives and society's demands, we examine what happens when more and more conflicts are understood as culture wars - and what this means for our ability to live together.

The series takes place every Tuesday from week 43 through mid-December (except 24/11), 17:00-18:00. Admission is 75 kr. and includes a choice of Tuborg beer or a glass of lemonade. Tickets are purchased through Aarhus Folkeuniversitet: https://fuau.dk/aarhus/program
