Ralston College | Douglas Murray and Stephen Blackwood: On Ideological Madness and Its Antidote @RalstonCollegeSavannah | Uploaded October 2019 | Updated October 2024, 21 minutes ago.
A conversation between Douglas Murray and Stephen Blackwood, recorded on September 6th, 2019. Murray and Blackwood discuss Murray’s new book, ‘The Madness of Crowds', which explores the ideological madness of our moment. They also speak about the metaphysical assumptions driving that madness, and about truth and forgiveness as fundamental to its antidote. Please accept our apologies for the occasional distortion in the first few minutes in Murray’s microphone; the problem was corrected as soon as it was noticed.
