A.C. Grayling | Making Peace in the Culture Wars

Thursday 1 January 1970 - Thursday 9 October 2025
|
Starts:
The Crown Hotel, Harrogate
Tickets £ 18.00

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.

‘His prose is crisp. His arguments, compelling. I learned from his book to treasure the Enlightenment’s belief in liberty and equality as inherent human rights.’
