If you have a question about this talk, please contact Cambridge Festival of Ideas .

If all cultures and concerns are equally valid then surely it follows that truth is subjective? Or is this a meaningless caricature of relativism? Join Simon Goldhill, Caroline Edwards, Priya Gopal and Frank Furedi as they discuss what relativism can and can’t tell us about the ‘post-truth’ world. Chaired by Simon Blackburn.
