    What is liberalism? | Helen Pluckrose at PhilosophyEAST

    The exploration of ‘views’ (drishti in Sanskrit) has always been an essential part of the Buddhist tradition. PhilosophyEAST is a series of events exploring ideas and views that have a bearing on the dharma-life. Whilst not all the views of our guests necessarily express Buddhist values, our intention is to explore where contemporary thought and ideas have some degree of coincidence with the Buddhist vision.
