ABOUT THE EVENT
How do we know when someone is telling the truth? Whose judgement do we trust? Our parents? Friends? Teachers? Politicians? The internet?
And what happens if someone really believes something that isn’t true? Are they lying?
Philosopher Julian Baggini explores our “post-truth” world of lies, deception, and “alternative facts” by looking at the complex history of truth and falsehood. Discover with Julian the different types of supposed and real truths and where there is one type of truth that we can always rely on.
Truth has become much less plain and simple, but we haven’t stopped believing in it. Truth is something we all want and Julian will give us what we need to restore faith in the value and possibility of truth.

He is co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Philosophers’ Magazine, and also writes and broadcasts for The Guardian and the BBC.
