Dr Demetris Tillyris, Lecturer in Politics and International Relations in the School of Psychology, Politics, and Sociology, was interviewed for the The Philosophers Magazine – one the leading journals among professional philosophers – and The Royal Institute of Philosophy last week. Furthermore, he delivered a keynote address at The Forum for European Philosophy, London School of Economics and Political Science. Both his interview and keynote addressed a topic of particular contemporary importance, i.e. hypocrisy in social and public life, and are based on recently published articles in Contemporary Politics and Res Publica.
