This chapter explores the implications of a surrealist quote on violence in light of a recent trial, highlighting claims of anti-Semitism and the complexities of accountability in speech. The discussion navigates the intersection of free expression, internet culture, and the challenges posed by current societal norms that often stifle open dialogue.
After a years-long legal battle, philosopher Nina Power has found herself on the vanguard of a complex question: do artists have the responsibility to engage with dangerous ideas? She joined UnHerd's Freddie Sayers to discuss the trial, why she still reads controversial books and what her story can tell us about the culture wars.
