RSA Keynote


How different are different religions and traditions of thought?

How can we see past our differences and discover what we have in common?

Philosopher and Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan visits the RSA to interrogate the religious and secular concepts that frame current debates around faith and reason, emotions and spirituality, tradition and modernity, freedom, equality, universality, and civilisation.

Acknowledging the greatest flashpoints, Ramadan attempts to bridge paths to a common ground between differing religious and intellectual traditions.  

Join Tariq Ramadan at the RSA as he calls urgently for a more meaningful dialogue that takes us beyond tolerant co-existence to mutual respect and enrichment.  

Speaker: Tariq Ramadan, professor of contemporary Islamic studies, Oxford University, president of the European Muslim Network and author of The Quest for Meaning (Allen Lane).
