Website – HOWTHELIGHTGETSIN is back with over 250 thought-provoking events and a relevant theme: New Gods: icons and ideas in a changed world. Are the great narratives that have built and sustained the West under threat? And, if so, what are the new gods that will replace them?
Among the 2011 guests will be Susan Greenfield, Colin Blakemore, Zygmunt Bauman, Bonnie Greer, Ted Honderich, Gideon Rachman, Rana Mitter, Mary Ann Sieghart, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, Angie Hobbs, Polly Toynbee, Simon Armitage, Lauren Booth, Leela Ghandi, Tessa Jowell, Mary Midgley, Mary Warnock, Bryan Appleyard, David Aaronovitch and many more. We’ll be releasing tickets to these events over the coming weeks, but in the meantime we’ve released Earlybird Tickets to a handful of Philosophy Sessions.
Philosophy Sessions take place across the festival site. Debates run in the globe at hay, a converted 18th Century chapel, and in the International Tent, a major new venue this year. Get up close and personal with the great thinkers of our time in the Talk Tent, an intimate venue hosting our programme of cutting-edge and challenging solo talks. As with all our Philosophy Sessions, there’ll be opportunities to put your thoughts to the panellists or soloists. Think first, ask questions later.
