Julian Baggini explores big ideas from the week's news stories in a live discussion as part of the Philosophical Times series.
Julian Baggini is back at St George's Bristol on Saturday 24 October, as part of the venue's Philosophical Times series. It's a mid-morning session, starting at 10.30am, so it's more of a Saturday morning thing than a night out.
The format is simple: Baggini takes the big ideas from the week's news stories and opens them up for a live discussion. He looks at the themes that connect with what's been in the headlines and considers how a lifetime of philosophy can help people flourish in today's world. It's a way of taking the noise of the news cycle and finding the deeper questions underneath.
Baggini is a writer, thinker and the resident philosopher at St George's, and he's also the founding editor of The Philosophers' Magazine. He's recently updated Kakuzo Okakura's 1906 book The Book of Tea for the 21st century, with coffee at its centre. The session is intentionally open: you can sit back and listen to the conversation or get involved as much as you like, and the discussion is described as always lively and inspiring.
