Fifth lecture of Professor Tanner's Gifford Lecture series. Tuesday 10 May 2016 Lecture abstract This lecture will explore how present and future are collapsed in the evaluation of assets on secondary financial markets, and the way efforts are made, by way of derivatives and other tactics typical of finance-dominated capitalism, to limit the potentially disturbing character of an unpredictable future. The lecture will seek to establish how Christianity, to the contrary, allows for a future that, while very different from the present, does not simply compensate for the present’s failings. Tickets are free of charge and are available here Lecture video HTML Related links Click here for more information on the sixth lecture of the series This article was published on 2024-08-28
