SWF Livestream: A.C. Grayling, The meaning of life in a technological

Next date: Friday, 24 May 2024 | 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

Finding answers in changing times

‘It shouldn’t be the business of a philosopher today to tell people what to think’, says A. C. Grayling, but rather ‘how to think’.

The quest for a life worth living has been the business of philosophers for millennia. How can we pursue answers to life’s big questions in a world that feels increasingly dangerous and unstable thanks to big tech and AI?

Unpack the ‘how’ in this unmissable talk from the pre-eminent philosopher, who returns to Australia following his sell-out public lectures last year.
