An unmissable event with two of our most prominent thinkers, atheist philosopher John Gray and former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams who investigate what personhood means and how to live in the world today, from their strikingly different perspectives either side of the religious divide. Gray’s Seven Types of Atheism explores the rich, complex world of the atheist tradition, while Williams’s most recent book Being Human considers major questions such as the nature of consciousness and what makes us people. They’ll debate the long history of human experience, as well as some of its diverse philosophical chroniclers, in search of what it really means to exist.
