Acclaimed British philosopher Anthony C. Grayling will discuss his latest book, Discriminations: Making Peace in the Culture Wars. In this timely and provocative work, British philosopher Grayling, author of more than 30 books and founder of the New College of the Humanities, explores the history and consequences of cancel culture, drawing connections between ancient ostracism and modern political and social polarisation. He argues that many so-called cultural conflicts do not arise from conflicting rights, but from the clash between vested interests and fundamental freedoms.

Following his presentation, AC Grayling will converse with Martin Ivens, journalist, editor of The Times Literary Supplement and former editor of The Sunday Times.

At the end of the event, the author will sign copies of his books

Event in English with simultaneous translation into Spanish

In a Europe marked by uncertainty, populism, and a future too complex to calmly plan for, culture can give us the resilience we need. Because culture is another form of politics—it creates spaces for dialogue and helps us understand "the other." Where there is culture, there is always hope. This is how Teresa Grøtan, director of the Bergen International Literary Festival, sees it. A journalist and writer, she has published several books, the most recent being Før øya synker. She will speak with Miquel Molina, deputy editor of La Vanguardia and writer.

The event will be introduced by Nikola Pantelić and Vanessa Ileana Chioaru, Editor-in-Chief of the IE European Union Journal and the Vice President of the IE European Union Club.
