Alain de Botton, Kings Place

February 23, 2014 @ 12:30 pm - 5:00 pm

The News: A User’s Manual looks at the peculiar place that ‘the news’ occupies in our lives. De Botton notes that we invest it with an authority which used to be the preserve of religion. But what does it do for us?

Mixing current affairs with philosophy, de Botton offers a guide to the precautions we should take before venturing anywhere near the news and the ‘noise’ it generates.
