"We tend to think of learning and skills as mental or intangible acquisitions, an idea that is backed up by the modern philosophical tradition.

Richard Sennett, whose recent book The Craftsman reflects on these questions, will be in conversation with philosopher, writer and broadcaster Jonathan Rée."
