Conversation Drinks: Robert Ferguson on Kierkegaard

Kierkegaard – a philosopher whose work addressed personal responsibility and individualism – is not widely regarded as a barrel of laughs. But at this event author, playwright and Kierkegaard fan Robert Ferguson will suggest that maybe the problem lies not with his hero but with the rest of us. Perhaps we are just too frivolous and it’s time to join the man who inspired the Existentialists in taking life a bit more seriously? You’ll have drinks to hand as Ferguson explains how to loosen our dependence on irony without sacrificing a sense of humour.
