NY Salon

The NY Salon is delighted to be sponsoring a session at the Battle of Ideas this year, as well as having numerous NY Salon members speaking at sessions throughout the weekend. With a commitment to thrashing out the arguments in an atmosphere of intellectual rigour and honesty, we have found that the Battle of Ideas provides an environment that is lively and stimulating. Indeed, the NY Salon aims to help create a similar setting in New York.

Your conscience, my health: the right to refuse?

"Battle of Ideas could be called Search for Truth. Mundane consensus and conventional wisdom are the enemies of truth. Happily, neither of those are available at the Battle."
