The prestigious Australian philosopher and Professor, John Keane, has been commissioned to start the cycle “Democracy Today”, organized by the Department of Philosophy and Sociology at the Universitat Jaume I and the Masters of Ethics and Democracy, with the conference “The new despotisms of the 21st century”.

‪In his talk, Keane explained a disturbing trend affecting our world in these early years of this century: the rise of despotism. “‪This trend raises the question whether a number of existing power regimes across the globe have or not a number of common characteristics close to despotic models” said the renowned philosopher who claims that the despotism concept, nowadays obsolete, should also be relived to understand changes that are consolidated in Western democracies.
