“Responding to the urgency of his vision of community in a fractured world, this symposium explores how John Macmurray’s enduring insights into relationship, education, and the work of living together can inform action and shape more hopeful relational futures—across education, AI, and wider social life.”

“This symposium marks the 50th anniversary of Scottish philosopher John Macmurray’s death, bringing his relational philosophy into dialogue with the challenges of today’s uncertain world. At a time of rapid technological change, social division, and shifting educational landscapes, Macmurray’s insight—that we become fully human through our relationships—offers a powerful resource for rethinking action, education, and public life.”
