“The Battle of Ideas is an essential event for anybody interested in the ideas that may shape the intellectual landscape of the 21st Century. Cosy orthodoxies are interrogated rather than indulged, and intellectuals and experts are forced to justify their ideas. Most impressive is the air of intellectual vibrancy that surrounds the festival. We are always pleased to be a part of this important event.” Martin Earnshaw, Future Cities Project. |
Optimism versus Pessimism
"There's a real sense of intellectual delight that so much can be discussed in just sixty minutes - and so thoughtfully - both by the speakers and especially by the audience. A rich feast of ideas."
Christopher Kelly, reader in Ancient History and Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics at Corpus Christi College
