How the World Thinks | Lecture by philosopher Julian Bagg...

What this episode covers

Why is the West more individualistic than the East? And why does secularism have less influence in the Islamic world than in Europe? According to British philosopher Julian Baggini, we do not differ from each other as much as we think. All around the world, people grapple with the same moral questions: Individual autonomy versus the collective good, the social demand for clear truth versus the awareness that everything is subjective. Different ways of thinking are found in the answers. Come hear from Baggini what we can learn from how the rest of the world thinks.
