In constructing his famous <em>Republic</em>\, Plato expressly warns of the dangerous link between the liberation of animals\, the uprising of the proletariat\, and the founding of democracy. Unwittingly\, Plato <em>also</em> reveals that an increased &lsquo\;sensitivity&rsquo\; towards the fate of bonded animals marks an essential first step towards a truly free society. From this starting point\, <strong>Richard Iveson</strong> will consider whether the egalitarian entanglement of humans and other animals in fact constitutes the prior condition of any democratic community.<strong><em><br> &nbsp\;</em>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Suggested hashtag for this event for Twitter users: #LSEanimals</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>Podcasts of most FEP events are available online after the event.
