In a new series, named “Face to Face” in homage to the former New Statesman editor John Freeman’s celebrated television interviews of the 1960s, today’s foremost thinkers, writers and politicians debate the forces reshaping the world. We begin with a written exchange between Ross Douthat, author and columnist at the New York Times, and our own John Gray. They discuss decadence and declinism, a possible religious revival, the culture wars, and the effects of the “Great Awokening”.
