‘Manrique and his Lanzarote project’, by the philosopher Jakub Kloc-Konkołowicz will be presented this thursday

This Thursday, July 4, at 7:00 p.m., in the Taro de Tahíche, the book ‘Manrique and his project Lanzarote ¿Una utopía realizar?’, By the Polish philosopher Jakub Kloc-Konkołowicz, published by the FCM within the his “Essay” collection.

The essay, which will be presented by Antonio Gómez Ramos, professor of philosophy at the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M), develops between social philosophy and aesthetics and tries to answer the question of whether the utopia that César Manrique devised for Lanzarote failed or succeeded. Or, to put it more precisely, what that success or failure meant and continues to mean for the island, for its inhabitants and for the observer that comes from outside.
