FODI: The In-Between | 04 | Eleanor Gordon-Smith and Slavoj Žižek | The age of doubt, reason and conspiracy

Against the pillars of Enlightenment, how can we make sense of
conspiracy theories, tribalism, and deepening divisions between our
beliefs? In a conversation moderated by Simon Longstaff, Eleanor
Gordon-Smith and Slavoj Žižek discuss the proliferation and
saturation of knowledge, the rise of conspiracy theories, and
whether or not the Age of Enlightenment is coming to an end.

Eleanor Gordon-Smith is a philosopher and radio producer
currently at Princeton University, where she is a Graduate Fellow
of the University Centre for Human Values.


Slavoj Žižek is a Slovenian philosopher and cultural
theorist.
