UMA REFLEXÃO: “MORAL PROGRESS: EXPANDING THE HUMAN MIND”

“MORAL PROGRESS: EXPANDING THE HUMAN MIND” –

Dr. Christian Welzel.

“Counter-intuitive as it may seem in the face of rising populism, Dr. Christian Welzel will show fascinating data from the World Values Surveys, illustrating that most of humanity has turned more emancipatory in its moral values over recent decades and that this cultural transformation has brought our better moral qualities to the surface.

Christian Welzel is Chair of Political Culture Research at Leuphana University Lueneburg. He is also vice-president of the World Values Survey, senior foreign advisor of the National Research University in Moscow and affiliate of the Center for the Study of Democracy, UC Irvine. Author of 120 publications, Welzel’s research focuses on global cultural change. His most recent book is the award-winning Freedom Rising (2013 at Cambridge University Press).
