The Science, Philosophy and Hard Problems of Food in Deep Space. Panel: Julian Baggini, Bob Perry, Shahreen Reza, Phil Ruskin, Gary Stutte, Tiffany Vora. Moderator: Kris Kimel.

Daniel Chandler talks with me about his new book, Free and Equal, based on the revolutionary thought experiment proposed by the twentieth century's greatest political philosopher, John Rawls. Chandler argues in this hugely ambitious and exhilarating intervention, it is by rediscovering Rawls that we can find a way out of the escalating crises that are devastating our world today.

Talking about my latest book, How to Think Like a Philosopher at Glasgow's book festival.

Philosopher Julian Baggini, author of How to Think Like a Philosopher, talks to writer and translator Daniel Hahn about conveying big ideas, the importance of broadening audiences for big subjects and the value of simplicity while also holding on to complexity.

What good is philosophy? How has it been used to develop a more balanced approach to thinking, to politics, and to life? Why is it still so important today?

Philosophy is often presented as dry, analytic and logical. However, there have always been writers who have explored philosophy through the imaginative lens of fiction. In this salon, Julian Baggini will be in conversation with two of our most gifted philosophical novelists, Samantha Harvey and Joanna Kavenna. You’ll have a chance to join the discussion too.
