The last event I am chairing as my tenure as The Royal Institute of Philosophy's Academic Director comes to an end.

I'm taking part in four events at this festival. Day tickets are also available.

Philosopher, journalist and the author of over 20 books Julian Baggini is joined by Joachim Aufderheide, Reader in Philosophy, Kings College London; Vanessa Brassey, co-director of the Centre for Philosophy and Art; Siobhán Jolley, the Ahmanson Fellow in Religion and Art at the National Gallery; and artist Sikelela Owen to debate these questions.

Join me to explore some of the big ideas that connect with and emerge from this week’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 today’s world truth is disputed, denied, hidden and distorted. The very possibility of objective truth is dismissed, replaced with the idea that things can only be “true for you” or “true for me”. Yet people still go to court or take to streets to defend the truth. Truth still matters, so why can’t we agree on what it is?
