Peter Sloterdijk in conversation with Santiago Iñíguez de Onzoño
The Incendiary Humanity
–
IE University. Aula Magna
Europe is undergoing a period of profound redefinition. Amid rapid technological change, geopolitical tensions, and the transformation of liberal democracies, fundamental questions are resurfacing about identity, education, culture, and the very meaning of the European project. What values can sustain Europe today? How is the technological revolution shaping the way we think, learn, and live together? What remains of the European humanist ideal in an era marked by uncertainty and fragmentation? Peter Sloterdijk—undoubtedly one of the great living philosophers whose controversial views fuel essential debates— will engage in a dialogue with Santiago Iñiguez de Onzoño, president of IE University, on the major intellectual and cultural challenges of our time.
The discussion will begin with The Continent Without Qualities, Sloterdijk’s latest essay, a lucid reflection on Europe’s loss of political and spiritual horizon and on the tensions between technology, culture, and democracy in the 21st century. In the second part, three students from IE University’s European Union Club will join the conversation in an exercise in intergenerational dialogue that will highlight the voices of Young people and their role in building a shared future.
At the end of the event, the authors will be signing copies of their books

José María de Areilza and Fidel Sendagorta in conversation
Europe in the labyrinth of geopolitics
–
Torreón de Lozoya (entrada por la calle Grabador Espinoza)
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and Donald Trump’s second term in office have brought an end to a long era in international relations. Europeans need to wake up and adapt to a different, far more adverse reality. The goal of global prosperity, central during the 30 years following the fall of the Berlin Wall, has given way to the imperative of security, understood in national terms and as an expansive concept.
Two leading analysts with first-hand experience of the international relations landscape, José María de Areilza and Fidel Sendagorta, will discuss Europe’s place in a world of rivalries for which it is unprepared, and the steps it must take to achieve strategic autonomy, strengthen alliances and defend its interests and values.
