The McKeon Center will explore the many intellectual legacies of the University of Chicago philosopher, classicist, and human rights advocate Richard McKeon. With its mission of investigating the historical and cultural forces that shape knowledge across disciplinary lines, the Institute on the Formation of Knowledge is delighted to host this dynamic new center, bringing renewed attention to McKeon's investigation into systems of knowledge organization and his own intellectual pluralism.

Please join us for a conversation about the relationship of human rights, free expression, and above all, frameworks for understanding the world.
