  Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet.

  I'm producer Mia Sorrenti.

  In today's episode,

• 00:07

  we're returning for part two of our recent live event with philosopher and author Julian Pagini,

• 00:12

  recorded live at Conway Hall.

• 01:21

  I think the thing about isms is that they're terms which sort of gather together a lot of often disparate things.
