Sydney Writers Festival: Livestream and Local - Philosopher A.C. Grayling

A.C. Grayling: The meaning of life in a technological age. Finding answers in changing times

"It should'n'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 the unmissable talk from the pre-eminent philosopher, who returns to Australia following his sell-out public lecture last year.
