World Humanist Congress: Drowning in noise - how accommodating nonsense poisons our discourse
 |
In one of the more fiery parallel sessions from the World Humanist Congress in August 2014, the BHA's Sara Passmore chairs American Atheists President David Silverman and blogger and biology professor PZ Myers, who offer their views on how we as a non-religious community should work to overcome the prevalence of bad ideas. At the World Humanist Congress, we really saw a diversity of humanist perspectives on these sorts of issues - and David and PZ were there to speak from their experiences of debates around religion and atheism in the United States. |

Rebecca Newberger Goldstein on Plato at the Googleplex: Why Philosophy Won't Go Away
 |
The British Humanist Association presents internationally renowned philosopher, writer, psychologist, and American Humanist Association's 2011 Humanist of the Year, Rebecca Newberger Goldstein for an intimate discussion on her newest book, Plato At The Googleplex: Why Philosophy Won’t Go Away.
PLATO AT THE GOOGLEPLEX: WHY PHILOSOPHY WON’T GO AWAY refutes the assertion of some that philosophy is dead, and has no intellectual substance or future in this scientific era. Rebecca offers insight into the significant progress philosophy has made and why it is critical to our lives today and she does so in a witty and imaginative way. Plato is resurrected and into the twenty-first century where he embarks on a speaking tour during which he engages in a debate between a Freudian psychoanalyst and a tiger mother; encounters the host of a right-wing news programme who denies that can be morality without religion; and is made to consider Google and the idea that knowledge can be crowdsourced rather than reasoned out by experts. |

CFI UK presents Jonathan Lanman on Atheism: The View from Cognitive Science
 |
Talk by Dr Jonathan Lanman, the Assistant Director of the Institute of Cognition and Culture and Lecturer in Anthropology at Queen's University Belfast.
"Atheism: The View from Cognitive Science" Cognitive Science is the interdisciplinary study of the mind and is in principle and in practice relevant to our understanding of atheism. In this talk, Jonathan Lanman reviews how cognitive science enriches our understanding of belief and rationality, challenges commonly discussed theories of religion and atheism, and provides a more empirically grounded account of the mind that we can utilize to better understand the causes and effects of atheism and anti-atheist prejudice. |
