The Philosophers’ Daughters Peter Vardy
Event details
Why should we care for the weak and vulnerable if survival is all that matters? Why are people so concerned with fashions and the labels on clothes? Isn’t religion just a matter of being conditioned by your parents? How do we explain the Big Bang? What is love?
Philosopher and theologian Peter Vardy collected 54 questions about life asked by his young daughters Petra and Thora, attempted to answer them himself and gathered additional answers from leading figures in a variety of fields from across the world.
Join Peter for a lively discussion on life’s biggest questions.
Complimentary refreshments will be provided.
