Join us for Live & Local 2024, streamed live by Sydney Writers’ Festival and delivered locally to Shellharbour City Library.

=============================================

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.
