Where do you get your values, sensibility, and general vibe from? If you aren't religious and grew up in a Western democracy, the answer is probably liberalism. Ask yourself: are my topline values and commitments to such things as freedom, fairness, tolerance, reciprocity, and irony? Well, that's a liberal package, according to Professor Alexandre Lefebvre.

In this event, Alexandre presents key ideas from his latest book, Liberalism as a Way of Life (Princeton University Press, 2024). He expands on the idea of liberalism beyond political ideology, and places it as a public philosophy that combines arguably the two most popular non-fiction topics of our day: the fate and future of liberal democracy, and self-help. Informed in equal parts by philosophy and popular culture, this conversation offers plenty of practical suggestions to unleash your inner liberal.

Professor Mark Scott AO, Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Sydney, joins Alexandre on stage to host this conversation in a special live recording of The Solutionists, a podcast that dives into the most pressing issues of our time and introduces you to the people unearthing the seeds of remarkable solutions.
