Summary
Jewish Book Week presents Culture Wars: A Polarised World
Debates often described as “culture wars” have become a defining feature of contemporary public life, shaping discussions around values, identity, free expression and social cohesion. Oxford professor Nigel Biggar draws on moral philosophy and public debate to examine why these disagreements have become so charged, and what they reveal about the pressures facing liberal democratic societies. In conversation with Baroness Ruth Deech, he considers how disagreement is conducted today, the impact of polarisation on institutions such as universities and the media, and how open debate might be sustained in an increasingly divided public sphere.
