Inez Weski will speak in the Zuiderkerk, where Spinoza once walked in and out, on Saturday, November 2nd at 15:15 in the afternoon.
Just like Spinoza, Inez Weski stands up for the right to challenge the misuse of power. Spinoza had to contend with heavy church management in the 17th century. In our time, forces of control are getting tighter and tighter again.
Inez Weski discusses this in her book "The Sound of Silence" the existence of so called 'Vervolgers', which translates in essence to "Hunters" in English. Her talk will frame the right to defense within the boundaries of the law in a broad historical context, helping us understand how our future might be shaped and what actions can still be taken to protect an individual against a mighty governmental power. Don't miss this insightful talk!
