A.C. Grayling – Making Peace in the Culture Wars
The Crown Hotel, Crown Place, Harrogate HG1 2RZ
18
Join philosopher A. C. Grayling for an in-depth conversation about his latest book “Discriminations: Making Peace in the Culture Wars”. Drawing on history, from ancient ostracism to witch trials and the Cold War’s House Un-American Activities Committee, Grayling examines how public debate has become increasingly toxic and polarised. In discussion, he will unpack what drives our digital outrage culture and whether we might yet move beyond cancellation toward more civil discourse.
A.C. Grayling is Professor of Philosophy and a leading advocate for philosophy’s role in public life. He is the author of numerous books and a regular voice in national media, known for bringing philosophical insight to contemporary debates.
