These intimate sessions of philosophical and ethical discussion will refuel your sense of moral courage, re-connect you to your critical reasoning capabilities and provide a forum to re-engage with the extraordinary Cranlana alumni.
Meritocracy: a bad idea whose time should never have come. When sociologist Michael Young invented the term “meritocracy” in 1958, it was intended as satire. Young was warning against a future in which one form of entrenched privilege (the aristocracy of class) was replaced by another. By the turn of the 21st Century, Young thought his dystopian vision had become reality. “It is good sense to appoint individual people to jobs on their merit.” he wrote. “It is the opposite when those who are judged to have merit of a particular kind harden into a new social class without room in it for others.” This session, moderated by Peter Mares, will draw on Young’s original work and on The Tyranny of Merit, the latest book by acclaimed American philosopher Michael Sandel.

“Us” not “me”; “we” not “I”: a morality for the 21st Century. This session will focus on the ideas of the late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, religious leader, biblical scholar, philosopher and public intellectual. Rabbi Sacks passed away in November 2020, not long after the publication of his book Morality: restoring the common good in divided times, in which he made the case for combatting “cultural climate change” to build a shared framework of virtues and values. Moderated by Rebecca Cody.
Participants will be emailed links to pre-readings, and a Zoom invitation a few days prior.
