What We have in Common: A Philosophy of ‘Commonism'
Commons are shared resources that anyone can make use of, without them being the exclusive property of anyone. They used to be shared forests or fields, but today we also consider knowledge, cities or data as commons. Neoliberal capitalism, however, threatens commons on all sides.
In this lecture, Thijs Lijster will show the importance of commons, and discuss how they can form the basis for alternative politics. Because without commons we have nothing in common.
