“The Polemicists” aims to provide a space for reasoned debate surrounding contemporary issues, for anyone who wishes to get involved and provide a view point. Topics will include Religious, Political, Philosophical, and Social.
Ideally we would like to get to a stage where we can also host debates in person. We believe humanity is at its finest, when it engages with ideas and points of view that contrast, conflict, and challenge consensus. Bringing those conflicting, contrasting and challenging views together, under a framework that hopefully promotes reasoned debate, is the aim of “The Polemicists”.
Conditions of debate:
- Two Participants chosen for each debate.
- Each participant is permitted a maximum of 1500 words in order to make their case.
- They each have 48 hours to present their case.
- Participant chosen at random to present their case first, will send their case to the Polemicist Email account.
- The argument will then be forwarded to the second participant, who will be given the chance to respond.
- Once both participants have sent their argument, it will be published on here.
- The comments section will then be open to the two participants to continue the debate, along with any others who wish to contribute.
If you wish to be a part of any debate, feel free to email us your name, email address, and topics that you’re comfortable writing on, and we’ll notify you if a debate within that field comes up.

The Polemicists 
Sounds like a great idea and I’d love to get involved. I’;m snowed in with college work at the moment, but I could submit a debate in a few weeks time.
