What Does It Mean To Be Modern?
Discover What It Means To Be Modern at Big Ideas this July
Immerse yourself in some Big Ideas in 2008.
Sessions generally start with a question. Someone who has some relevant expertise gives a very brief, informal talk. After that a discussion develops in a free and unstructured manner. It's not a lecture, and it's not a debate; it's a pub argument, but unlike any you've had before.
On Tuesday July 29th from 7.30pm, you can enjoy a talk and discussion entitled 'What Does It Mean To Be Modern?'. Does 'modern' just mean 'contemporary' or 'recent', or is it more like a state of mind, a way of life or a set of ideas?
Nathan Charlton will be inviting us to consider Modernism in the light of industrialisation and technology, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and even ancient Egyptian art.
Big Ideas takes place at The Wheatsheaf on Rathbone Place.
