American moral philosopher and author Susan Neiman discusses how the political left is shifting from universalism to tribalism.
About this Event

TPL presents American philosopher and writer, Susan Neiman in conversation with Nahlah Ayed (CBC Ideas), at Toronto Reference Library's Appel Salon space.

Susan Neiman has written extensively on the enlightenment, moral philosophy, metaphysics, and politics. Her work shows that philosophy is a living force for contemporary thinking and action. In her new book Left is Not Woke, Neiman argues that the concept of "wokeism" conflicts with the foundational ideals of universalism that have guided the left for over 200 years.

Question and answer session and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.

Note: This is an in-person event at The Bram and Bluma Appel Salon, the premiere event space for Toronto Public Library’s cultural and heritage programming located on the second floor of the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge Street).

Arrive early, meet people. The talk starts at 7 pm, but doors open at 6 pm. Come early so you can chat with your fellow literature lovers, and make new friends. As with all Appel Salon events, we'll have a cash bar with a selection of beer and wine, as well as sandwiches and snacks.

Reminder! We oversell these events to make sure that most people have an opportunity to attend. Tickets are only guaranteed until 15 minutes before the show starts, at which point we will start opening up available spots to the rush line.

This event will not be live streamed but the replay will be made available to watch on TPL’s YouTube channel.
