Idea Festival Talk
A Question of Freedom:
In the name and pursuit of freedom governments have been founded and overthrown, wars waged, lives lost and tremendous personal sacrifices endured. But what does this thing called freedom actually mean? It’s a concept wrapped up with many other complex and controversial issues like free will…that carry profound personal, political, philosophical and even scientific connotations. A diverse group of thinkers comprised of theoretical physicist Suketu Bhavsar, philosopher Sanford Goldberg, award-winning independent film artist Tiffany Shlain and international affairs and politics expert Lori Hartmann-Mahmud will delve into this subject engaging in a free flowing and provocative conversation into the idea, history and meaning of freedom.
