Political scientist Francis Fukuyama and philosopher John Gray debate whether there is a better alternative to liberal democracy.
Best known for arguing that liberal democracy would mark ‘the end of History’, Francis Fukuyama has spent much of the last 30 years responding to questions about his contested prediction. In this conversation, he is joined by British political philosopher John Gray, who rejects the idea of universal liberal values and human progress.
In light of Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine, the two leading thinkers debate why people are motivated to tolerate certain regimes or seek a better life elsewhere.
This clip is from the Intelligence Squared event ‘Is Liberalism Obsolete?’ recorded on 22 March 2022. Watch the full conversation here: [ Ссылка ]
