PHILOSOPHER A. C. Grayling will set out the case for a written constitution in a bid to address the centuries-old anomaly that the UK does not have a formally agreed document despite forming the model for constitutions around the world.

At a lecture in Oxford, he will examine the constitutional questions raised by Brexit, and argue that now more than ever, it is time for the UK to debate and confirm a written constitutional Agreement of the People for the twenty-first century.

The renowned academic is the Master of the New College of the Humanities, London, and its Professor of Philosophy, as well as the author of more than thirty books of philosophy, biography, history of ideas, and essays.

Professor Grayling has twice been a judge on the Booker Prize, and in 2015 served as the Chair of the judging panel.

He is also vice president of the British Humanist Association, a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

He will be speaking in the Leonard Wolfson Auditorium, Wolfson College, on December 6 from 5.30pm.

The event is free but registration is required via ox.ac.uk.
