Delve into the world of concepts and ideas through reflections, experiences and research led by some of the most respected thinkers of our time. The European Graduate School is organising a programme of public lectures at the Bibljoteka Nazzjonali (National Library) under the Valletta 2018 Capital of Culture Programme.

The ‘Order of Knowledge’ is offered by the School’s Division of Philosophy, Art, and Critical Thought and it promises to bring the latest reflections by leading philosophers, critical theorists, artists, and practitioners working in the fields of philosophy, higher education, the arts, the media, or other cultural sectors to the interested public.
