A world-renowned French philosopher will give a free talk at Emory University in late April.

Jacques Rancière, one of the most prominent and influential philosophers writing today, will visit Emory on Wednesday, April 25, at 6 p.m.

Rancière's work is recognized as a major contributor to contemporary thought and has had wide-ranging impact on fields as diverse as politics, philosophy, the visual arts, literature, history, media studies and teaching.

Rancière proposes a complex and original rethinking of politics, aesthetics and their relation to each other. Politics and aesthetics, he argues, are inextricably linked. 

If you go: Wednesday, April 25, at 6 p.m. at Emory University, White Hall, Room 208
