Carlos Fraenkel and Susan Neiman talk to Misha Glenny

Comment sections sear with outrage, social media is overrun with trolls, and polarising protests have almost doubled in the last decade – in today’s divided world, considering the opposing point of view is a rarity. This conversation considers why listening to the people you disagree with is crucial for a healthy society.

Philosophers and authors Carlos Fraenkel and Susan Neiman look at how both the right and the left could benefit from concentrating on what unites us instead of what divides us, and asks whether we can reach a more just and equal society if we all adopted more critical thinking in our daily lives. Chaired by the host of the BBC’s In Our Time, Misha Glenny.
