In this exclusive live-streamed event, Julian Baggini discusses the philosophy of the coronavirus crisis. What tools can we use to navigate a time of anxiety?
What lessons, whether personal, societal and political, might we learn for the future from this unprecedented situation? And what will the “new normal” look like when we finally get there?
This event took place on Wednesday 13 May, as part of our #WigtownWednesdays programme.
