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. |
Bored of the Booker: prizes, prizes, everywhere
"The rules of the game at The Battle of Ideas makes beating about the bush impossible. When you are given 5 minutes to make your point, you either say something essential, or you reveal that you have nothing really to say. This eliminates 'the unbearable lightness' of speculation that haunts public debate."
