A century ago, a circle of thinkers in Vienna gathered to reestablish philosophy’s place in the world. This semester, we’re bringing that spirit home. 💭

Are you ready to see the end of the tunnel? 🤔

This is The Diliman Circle.

Here's something to ponder on 🤔

World Philosophy Day reminds us of the power of deep thought and meaningful dialogue 💡 Established by UNESCO in 2002, this day celebrates how philosophy shapes our understanding of the world, challenges assumptions, and promotes critical thinking on global issues like ethics and social justice. 🌐

Let’s take a moment to reflect on its role in guiding us through life’s biggest questions. 💭✨

“Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.”

In her seminal work "The Origins of Totalitarianism," the German philosopher Hannah Arendt warned that the ideal subject of the totalitarian rule is not the extremist but the people who no longer know the difference between fact and fiction. In this age of post-truth, authoritarians around the world continue to exploit social media to spread disinformation and distort history, and the Philippines is no exception. The Marcos family and their allies continue to gloss over the suffering of the victims of Martial Law and express doubt or outright denial of the basic historical facts surrounding the subject.

In solidarity for the celebration of UP Day of Remembrance and the 52nd anniversary of Ferdinand Marcos Sr.'s declaration of Martial Law through PD 1081, the UP Philosophical Society continues to fight not just for the memory of the victims of the Marcos regime, but also for the concept of truth itself. Never forget. Never again.

Unity Amidst Diversity.
