Public engagement

Bloomsbury Festival

The London School of Philosophy will be continuing its long-standing engagement with the Bloomsbury Festival. In Oct 2024, we are featuring in the festival with a free event Philosophy with Compassion. Further details here.

Shahrar Ali was interviewed on 13 September 2024 by Bloomsbury Institute radio about LSP’s participation, which is available for preview here:

Shahrar is asked about his educational journey, what drew him to philosophy, the importance of free speech in pursuit of truth, how social media can foster lack of critical thinking, the role of empathy in politics, and how LSP will be approaching the Bloomsbury festival theme “Human.Kind”.
