Racial Justice and Ethical Humanism - Rethinking the Philosophical Canon

Join us for a bold and necessary conversation:
"Should We Cancel the Canon?"
Western philosophers like Kant and Hegel and Icons like Churchill, are hailed as intellectual giants — shaping modern ideas about freedom, reason, and progress. But what happens when we confront their racist writings and views?
As we strive for racial justice, decolonisation of knowledge, and ethical humanism, this discussion asks:
Can we still admire thinkers whose legacies include deeply harmful ideas?
How do we critique and contextualise them without erasing history?
What does ethical humanism look like in a world still grappling with racism?

Expect a thought-provoking exchange on how to engage with the Western philosophical tradition — not with blind reverence, but with critical justice and human dignity at the centre.
