Change Your Perspective

Debate is the lifeblood of democracy. And it needs revival.

To engage in true debate is to recognise that our own opinions may be fallible and that our opponents, however different from us, have perspectives worth hearing. But today, what passes for debate tends to be a shouting match between ‘us’ and ‘them’ – between ‘us’ the righteous claimants to the truth, shouting from our echo chamber at ‘them’, the enemy, the malign, the deplorable.

Parallax Debates aims to change that. Named after that unsettling moment when a small shift in viewpoint gives you a new take on the world, Parallax Debates brings together the brightest minds to lock horns on the big questions of the day.
