Philosophy Against Fascism: Session 1, with Alberto Toscano

Philosophy Against Fascism is a monthly event series organized by Praxis-CFUL (the Practical Philosophy Research Group of the Center of Philosophy, University of Lisbon) and Livraria Tigre de Papel with the aim of critically understanding the emergence of fascism and its complex ideological dimensions. The discussion series brings together philosophers and theorists to critically examine contemporary forms of fascism and rethink anti-fascism today through lenses of capitalism, race, gender, nation, coloniality, and democracy.

The event will take place every second Thursday of the month, from January to July 20206, in the format of lectures, roundtables & open discussions (PT/EN).

Session 1 | 15 January 2026 | 18.30-20.00
