What Does It Mean To Think Freely?

Intellectual freedom is the bedrock of democracy. But today, this fundamental freedom is under threat, even in nations where civil liberties are reinforced by politics and democratic principles. Through academic capitalism, algorithmic manipulation, an attention economy, and the securitisation of political conflict, genuine intellectual enquiry is pushed to the periphery. This is further exacerbated by an infiltrating surveillance state and new forms of censorship.

At KRITIKOS, we aim to reveal how intellectual freedom and democratic debate are gradually and systematically undermined. We bring together fearless minds to expose the nuanced mechanisms that threaten our collective and individual intellectual life force. KRITIKOS publishes research articles, critical reflections, and art forms that are disruptive and transformative.

Our content aims to equip visionaries, change-makers, thought leaders, and decision-makers with the discernment needed to tackle complex challenges, contributing to a society that is genuinely committed to community vitality, individual wellbeing, ecological resilience, and an active political mass.
