Explore the challenges and potential of meaningful public discourse in this 23-minute talk from the Aspen Institute's "Aspen Ignites" series. Join Samuel Kimbriel, founding executive director of the Philosophy and Society Program, and Osita Nwanevu, contributing editor at The New Republic, as they discuss alternatives to sensationalism and fleeting debates in public forums. Discover their vision for a society that encourages investment, passion, and understanding diverse perspectives rather than seeking consensus or winning arguments. Recorded at the 2023 Aspen Ideas Festival, this conversation offers insights into building a better world through thoughtful engagement in public discourse.
