Share an intimate lunch conversation on Audacity with Marie Robert, host of the 4-million-listens philosophy podcast.
What is audacity and why is it essential to progress? Historically, philosophers have said little about audacity, yet the notion refers to the ideal of philosophical posture and the famous "sapere aude", which is commonly translated as "dare to think for yourself".
The audacity of knowledge is the courage to examine the truth without relying on received ideas. Being daring does not mean giving in to insolence, but rather to analysis. It's about questioning situations to transform what needs to be transformed and confirming what we agree with, so it's the first step to take for those who want to take the plunge and share their vision. In addition to the audacity to understand and act, there is also the audacity to hope.
In a lunch conversation that retraces the history of the notion, from Kant to Obama, we explore all the facets of audacity so that, at last, we too can dare to take the plunge.
