Foyles is extremely proud to be the official bookseller for The Battle of Ideas. As London’s largest independent bookseller we have always strived to encourage the open exchange of ideas, the healthy debate and the expansion of minds and horizons that is at the heart of the Battle of Ideas. The Battle of Ideas has done a wonderful thing by providing a forum for this exchange, and we’ll be there to support it every step of the way. |
Riots and revolutions: Europe's young radicals?
"I was impressed by the intensity of the debate and the high level of intellectual engagement, not least by the audience. It was an invigorating, even exhilarating experience to be part of a festival based on the conviction that disagreement is good. The Battle of Ideas is a fantastic concept, may it spread epidemically to the rest of the world. I am already looking forward to next year's event."
