Intelligence Squared | Is Liberalism Dead? Fukuyama vs Gray @Intelligence-Squared | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 14 hours ago
Is liberalism obsolete? Two great political philosophers debated this question on 22 March 2022.
Professor Francis Fukuyama was joined in conversation by John Gray, the British political philosopher, who rejects the idea of universal liberal values and human progress. Despite the view held by many that the Russian invasion of Ukraine marks the end of the post-Cold War era, Fukuyama believes that it is a wake-up call for the West to rekindle the spirit of 1989, while Gray argues that the triumph of liberalism is far from inevitable.
