About
Coinciding with the Annual General Meeting, Conversation at the Crossroads will be hosting its second Annual Oration, to be delivered by Raimond Gaita, Honorary Professorial Fellow, Melbourne Law School and Emeritus Professor of Moral Philosophy, King's College London.
The event begins at 3.00 with an indulgent afternoon tea, followed by lecture and extended Q&A session.
Gaita is the author of 14 books and contributor to many more, he is best known for his award-winning 1998 biography about his early life, titled Romulus, My Father.
Professor Gaita asserts that our conception of humanity cannot be based upon the empty language of individual rights when it is our shared feelings of grief, hope, love, guilt, shame and remorse that offer a more potent foundation for common understanding.
This promises to be a remarkable event that promises intellectual stimulation, lively discussions, and the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals.
