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?

A regular exploration of some of the big ideas that connect with and emerge from the month’s news stories. Sit back and enjoy the live conversation or take part as much as you like – this is always a lively and inspiring discussion!

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.
