Living liberal – how this political philosophy could make you happier
Description
Where do your values come from? What do you care about, and why?
If you're one of the growing number of non-religious people in Australia, you might find this question pretty hard to answer... Politics and philosophy professor Alexandre Lefebvre says that if this sounds like you, you might be living by a philosophy you didn't even know you had.
Alex believes liberalism could be the source of your very soul. It isn't just about politics - it's actually the hidden operating system running in the background of modern life.
Whether you're wrestling with big societal challenges or just trying to live a good life, Alex wants to offer you a new perspective on the values that guide our modern world.
If you want to hear more about liberalism from Alex, listen to his talk for Sydney Ideas here for free.
