Contemplating questions about life and how to live it, the Socratic challenge invites us to examine the philosophies we live by. ‘What sort of person should I be’ ‘What values shall I live by’ ‘What shall I aim for?’.

Having spent a lifetime thinking and writing about these great questions, eminent Professor A.C. Grayling’s latest work Philosophy and Life offers an insightful exploration of what philosophy can tell us about life and how to live it.

In this exclusive Brisbane event, Professor A.C. Grayling traverses love, death, grief, ageing, friendship, and art in the quest to understand what matters.

Philosophy and Life incorporates the lives and writing of an immensely eclectic range of thinkers taking in not only philosophers such as Confucius, Seneca, and Nietzsche, but also giants such as Shakespeare, Freud, and George Eliot and modern thinkers such as Martha Nussbaum and Simon May.

Professor A.C. Grayling is known globally for his profound insights into literature, philosophy, and the arts. This will be an illuminating event not to be missed.
