and On Truth (and Lies)
Co-Presented with the Onassis Cultural Center NY
With Tom McCarthy
What is the truth? Simon Critchley, one of today's leading
contemporary philosophers and moderator of the popular New York
Times philosophy series "The Stone," presents On Truth (and Lies), a
new conversation series that encourages audiences to abandon their
convictions at the door and explore the ambiguity of reality.
Is literature a true representation of our commonly shared world?
The celebrated author of Remainder, Men in Space,
and C (shortlisted for the 2010 Man Booker Prize), Tom
McCarthy joins Critchley to discuss truth and lies in literature,
from the canonical works of Cervantes and Joyce to contemporary
writings.
