The Battle of Ideas is a weekend of high-level, thought provoking public debate, organised annually by The Institute of Ideas. This year it takes place on 17th and 18th October at the Barbican in London and also features a range of satellite events across Europe.

This year’s programme at the Barbican includes important keynote debates, such as:

• Is there a future for liberalism?
• Is technology limiting our humanity?
• Religious tolerance: can we keep the faith?
• From literature to Twitter: The death of the reader?
• The Corbyn Effect: are the old parties dead?
