AC Grayling: Free speech, Wokeism, and how to save democracy
Description
How do we 'cancel' Fascism without censorship? Can we protect free speech as well as fact-checking?
This week, something different: we dive deep into social justice theory and question how to actually achieve it.
Media Storm brings missing expert voices into the conversation. These are normally people with lived experience, but as politics becomes evermore polarised, we sought out a world-class philosopher to help us rise above partisanship and understand the core questions driving division.
AC Grayling is Master of the New College of the Humanities and has written and edited over 30 books. But he does not see philosophy as an ivory tower practice, rather a useful subject for real life implementation. We put that to the test.
The episode is produced and presented by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall). The music is by Samfire (@soundofsamfire).
