Videos from 2013: Disputed Territories
With a focus on 'Disputed Territories', each evening of the 2013 Public Lecture series took a different theme and used a quick-fire format. Four leading experts had 10 minutes each to present their distinctive insights in an accessible and thought-provoking way, followed by audience questions and discussion.
Before and after the lectures and discussion the audience expressed their opinion on a number of statements related to the general theme of the evening via a Public Response System.
- The value of natural resources is to be found in their exploitation
- Modern science is incompatible with believing in God
- The good life is a matter of aesthetics rather than ethics
- Social cohesion is more important than multi-culturalism
- Triviality is more oppressive than tyranny
- The right to die is the ultimate personal freedom
