Foyles

Foyles is extremely proud to be the official bookseller for The Battle of Ideas. As London’s largest independent bookseller we have always strived to encourage the open exchange of ideas, the healthy debate and the expansion of minds and horizons that is at the heart of the Battle of Ideas. The Battle of Ideas has done a wonderful thing by providing a forum for this exchange, and we’ll be there to support it every step of the way.

"Just when Kant's formulation that 'the public exercise of reason should be free' had begun to seem so remote and exhausted, the Battle should reinforce one's faith in the enduring worth of dissent and of the free traffic in ideas"
