3 unusual facts about Hilary Lawson


Hilary Lawson

Schooled in analytic philosophy, his approach increasingly diverged from the mainstream having more in common with the American philosopher Richard Rorty and the French philosopher Jacques Derrida.

Known for his theory of Closure, he is Director of the Institute of Art and Ideas, founder of the Artscape Project, a director of TVF Media and founder of HowTheLightGetsIn, Europe's largest philosophy and music festival.

Lawson's subsequent work can be seen as a response to the writings of Rorty and Derrida, and an attempt to move forward the post-analytic project.
