03.07.2018 Free Speech, Not Censorship with Nadine Strossen (https://howtoacademy.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f87ff9f2b37acaa64ab36114a&id=9e8c5511f2&e=6d0e59bcbe)

A major talk by Professor Nadine Strossen, one of the world’s great civil libertarians, on the critical issue of Free Speech.

What is offensive? A great deal, in the brazen internet age when we are besieged on all sides by voices – including those which shout ‘Silence!’ and cite the damage being done by extreme views: discrimination, incitement to violence, psychic injury. In a free society is free speech an absolute, or is enough enough?

We all accept that states need intelligence services. Or do we? For a long time espionage was thought of as a disreputable activity, and one that the British at least should not stoop to under any circumstances. As a result, much of its history has remained hidden

20.09.2018     Science and Religion – Two Truths or One? Alan Lightman and Richard Dawkins in conversation. (https://howtoacademy.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f87ff9f2b37acaa64ab36114a&id=b9c9ea2504&e=6d0e59bcbe)

As a theoretical physicist, Alan Lightman has always held a scientific view of the world, whose logic is governed by a small number of impersonal forces and laws. These decree that all things in the universe are relative, material and mortal. But one summer evening in Maine, looking at the stars from a small boat at sea, he was overcome by an oceanic feeling...

15.10.2018     Identity Politics with Francis Fukuyama (https://howtoacademy.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f87ff9f2b37acaa64ab36114a&id=e96648a5ca&e=6d0e59bcbe)

Francis Fukuyama is the soothsayer of our age, and his The End of History was political science’s Book of Revelation. More recently, he warned of the consequences when state and institutions everywhere are corralled by interest groups. His predictions were borne out by the rise to power of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies now threaten to destabilise the entire international order.
