“Humanism is the philosophy that you should be a good guest at the dinner table of life.”

A.C. Grayling is one of the most well-known British philosophers alive today. A prolific writer, he is the author of almost 30 books spanning philosophy, biography, history of ideas, human rights, and ethics. Grayling is a supernumerary fellow of St Anne's College, Oxford, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He has served as a judge for prestigious literary awards like the Man Booker Prize.

Core to Grayling’s beliefs is that "philosophy should take an active role in society". Recently, Grayling has become an outspoken critic of British Politics, including Brexit and its facilitating actors.
