Basic Income is an audacious idea—a regular, unconditional cash grant for everyone as a right of citizenship. Yet, growing numbers of people have come to support it, believing not only that welfare systems around the world are too stingy but also that they’re based on an entirely wrong approach.

Nathan Biebel, a PhD student in the philosophy department, will lead a discussion on personal identity. We will be asking questions like: What makes me the same person today that I was yesterday? that i have the same body? the same personality? similar thoughts, feelings, and emotions? that i simply believe that I am the same person? In what sense, anyway, am i really the same person today that i was yesterday? Snacks and free Philosophy Club stickers will be available :)
