| Extra Info | : | A Political Mind Special with Lord John Alderdice, Chaired by David Morgan Disruptive new technology, deep anger about corruption and unfairness, and disdain for the quality of sociopolitical leadership, have led some to challenge the thinking of our times. Our old forms of understanding and ordering society are dissolving for reasons that are not so different from those of half a millennium ago. There is however one distinct difference. At that time, the radicals had a clear idea of the alternative they were promoting. Enlightenment thinkers demanded democracy instead of authoritarianism, the law guided by a moral code, and education and science replacing obscurantist forms of religious authority. But in our day democracy is failing, international law is dissolving before our eyes, and science is no longer regarded with the same respect. We need a new paradigm, but what might it look like? This is the challenge that Lord John Alderdice will address. |
