Night Waves - Free Thinking Special

Logo for Night Waves - Free Thinking Special

Matthew Sweet presents a discussion from BBC Radio 3's 2008 Free Thinking festival in Liverpool in which Trevor Phillips, head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, poses six vital questions which our society can't answer. Phillips asks whether modern liberal democracies have all the answers to the most important questions of our age, or whether some of the challenges thrown up by today's hyper-diversity will stump even our most progressive thinkers.
