I oA Sliver Lecture Series 25/26: Good Things*

What’s Good? It sounds like the easiest question in the world. Apfelstrudel is good. Sunshine is good. Architecture… well, that’s trickier.

Good is never just good – it’s a claim, a pose, sometimes even a sales pitch. Good is never neutral; it is bound to power, to culture, to choice. This lecture series wants to poke at polite certainties and tug at the loose threads. What counts as good, who gets to decide, and who’s good is being served? We’ll explore how good things can inspire, perhaps also mislead; how they can be political, social, material, ethical, or simply pleasurable.
