Welcome
back to the Full Circular. Whether you identify as an introvert or an
extrovert, living under lockdown is challenging in part because it goes
against the fundamentally social nature of humankind. And that’s not
just about sipping wine in good company on a Friday night, but the way
we navigate society, never far from contact with others. When that’s
taken away, what do we learn about ourselves? From
Ancient Greece to the cosy surroundings of Full Circle House, via an
online social get-together in the form of our new e-Salons, this week’s
Full Circular will take you on a virtual journey across a number of
insights into what shapes our social nature, and the ways art and
politics grow from within it. And
if you're feeling the need for a little social stimulation, or looking
for reassurance in these strange times, make sure you sign up to our
next e-Salon, where philosopher Julian Baggini will lead a discussion on
the consoling power of philosophy in times of crisis. |

A.C. Grayling
On European Culture
We may all be physically distant from one another at the moment, but philosopher A.C. Grayling’s insights into the origins of a shared European culture are an insightful reminder of our inherent sociability came to shape society as we know it.

Our Meals4Healthcare campaign, kicked off by Full Circle members, has so far raised over €25,000, mainly from staff inside the European Commission. We need €10,500 per week to pay for 100 meals a day, for hospital workers at the CHU St Pierre. Please help, so we can continue to give free meals to hospital staff who so badly need our support. You can also share this campaign with your network or your organisation. |
