Manifesto Club

The Manifesto Club is a pro-human campaigning network. Our aim is to bring together individuals whose ideas don’t necessarily fit into the politics of left and right, but who believe in developing people’s creativity and knowledge.

Ours is an agenda for a twenty-first century Enlightenment. We believe that humanity is capable of rising to the challenges it faces, however daunting they may seem. Through the use of reason we can begin to influence the course of history - and build a future where the human potential is developed to the fullest extent possible.


The empty square: the public engaged or imagined?

"The Battle of Ideas was a great success; it enabled large numbers of people to hear and interact with well-known speakers who have thought about and contributed significantly to the discussions of many important issues."
Richard Swinburne, emeritus professor, philosophy of religion, University of Oxford; author, 'The Existence of God and The Evolution of the Soul'
