What do failure, loss, and tragedy have to teach us about being human? How might we live in hope and truth despite our wounds? Why must we venture beyond ourselves to console others? In this podcast, it is an honour to speak with Professor Michael Ignatieff about the human tradition of consolation. We explore what religious traditions, the lives of past thinkers and statesmen, and Michael's own experience in active politics have to teach us about the need for consolation: to live, in an imperfect world, in solidarity with each other.
