Contemporary Ideas

This course explores some of the most influential ideas in contemporary thought and their impact on how we understand economics, innovation, uncertainty, information, learning, and communication. Through authors such as Matt Ridley, Steven Johnson, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Yuval Noah Harari, Carol Dweck, and Carmine Gallo, you will examine how complex societies emerge, how ideas are generated, and how narratives shape meaning. The course also develops your ability to apply these concepts critically in real-world contexts.
