About this talk

When faced with life's most difficult, existential questions we often feel alone. And yet many of the anxieties, disappointments, and uncertainties in our lives are universal. Philosophy is the space where we commit to an honest dialogue about this situation: the good-faith attempt to cut to the heart of the matter. Jack Maden explores the questions posed by the giants of philosophy in this Ethical Matters talk – what does Confucius have to say about to be someone's child, or their parent? How does Simone de Beauvoir define true love? And what can a Japanese sage teach us about death? Jack Maden is the Founder and Director of Philosophy Break, a social enterprise dedicated to making the wisdom of philosophy accessible. His new book, The Philosophy Prescription, shares philosophical wisdom for everyday life and will be available to purchase on the day. Age Recommendation: 16+. Doors open: 2:30pm. This event will be held with an in-person audience at Conway Hall and online via livestream.
