Centre for Inquiry Canada | Liberalism a post-liberal world, with Russell Blackford @CentreforInquiryCanada | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Russell Blackford (@Metamagician) is a philosopher, literary critic, and widely published author. Russell talks about how the philosophical principle of Liberalism runs through his two most recent books, The Tyranny of Opinion and How We Became Post-Liberal. Our conversation starts with a definition of how Liberalism emerged over the past few centuries, and delves into two of its core concepts: free speech and toleration. We also discuss how group dynamics can lead to polarization and how society can return to liberal values.
