The world lost in a labyrinth – civilisation, crisis, and future choices
Description

What happens when civilisations lose their moral compass? How could the hope for a stable world order have been transformed into the current fragmented reality? And what does our inability to cope with global crises say about the future of humanity? Based on his latest works – Le Labyrinthe des égarés: L’Occident et ses adversaires [The Labyrinth of the Lost: The West and Its Enemies], Adrift: How Our World Lost Its Way, and On the Isle of Antioch – Lebanese-French author Amin Maalouf will be in conversation with writer Kholod Saghir about how the world ended up in the state it is in, and which options are still open to it.
