150 years on from the publication of John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, there is a view that liberalism is in crisis.
Richard Reeves, Director of the think-tank Demos, will argue that true liberalism - the liberalism of Mill - is not the problem, but the solution.
The Chair will be Jonathan Wolff, Professor of Philosophy, UCL. Introduction by Peter Cave, Chair of Humanist Philosophers.
UPDATE: The text of the lecture is now available for download.
The lecture is organised by the Humanist Philosophers' Group with support from the British Humanist Association and the Philosophy Department at University College London.
