Tove Jansson's (1957) illustration from her book 'Moominland Midwinter'. Moomintroll, unlike his family who hibernate, decides to stay up through the harsh winter. It is a tale of endurance, acceptance and learning to live with the discomfort of uncertainty #WomensArt

✨#Philosophy really can change minds. ✨To mark #WorldPhilosophyDay, here's a reminder of what a difference it can make.
As our Chair, @lucyobrien.bsky.social, puts it:
“Philosophy teaches skills integral to cultivating social values and conduct. It changes people's minds.”
