Brooklyn’s all-night love affair with philosophy at Brooklyn Public Library
A marathon of ideas at Grand Army Plaza
Brooklyn Public Library’s (BPL) Night of Philosophy and Ideas — an all-night marathon of philosophical debate, performances, screenings and music — drew more than 7,000 people to the Central Library at Grand Army Plaza on Jan. 27.
The free 12-hour exchange of ideas drew top philosophers and philosophy lovers from around the world.
This year’s event, the second of what is sure to be an annual series, focused on the resonance of 1968’s protest movements, which paved the way for emancipation in areas of feminism, ecology, gay rights and tolerance.
