Join philosopher Julian Baggini, MP and biographer of Burke Jesse Norman and Thangam Debbonaire for a deep dive into the nature of democracy in which you, the audience, will also have a say.

In her two most recent books, acclaimed American Philosopher Myisha Cherry has written about the positive uses of anger and the failures of forgiveness in public and political life. In a polarised world in which civility seems to be in decline, is there really a case for rage and against forgiveness?

Julian Baggini will talk about his new book which examines how our food choices shape our lives and societies. He will explore diverse global food practices and the urgent challenges facing our food systems today including cutting-edge technologies like GM foods, cultured meat, and the ethics of ultra-processed foods.

How does the food we eat shape our lives? Philosopher and author Julian Baggini joins us in the bookshop to answer this very question.

Join us for an evening of philosophy as Julia Baggini guides us through How the World Eats, his attempt to develop a global food philosophy.

In How The World Eats: A Global Food Philosophy, Baggini examines how the choices we make about what to eat influence the way we live, with most of us now relying on a global web of food production, distribution, consumption and disposal.

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!
