Description
Do universal values, norms, or principles exist in the contemporary global context? On what basis could such values be established? Do they rely on theology, philosophy, politics, or society? Or, is the world ultimately a pluralist one in which there can be no agreement on values? What intellectual figures are most valuable in seeking out answers to questions of universalism and pluralism? This panel asks these questions through an engagement with individual thinkers and traditions of thought. Panellists are asked to put these intellectual resources into conversation with the dynamics of global politics, however this might be defined.
