Food For Thought: "Heroes of the Intellect: Unbelief and Enlightenment Values"
Details
Member Jim Dee will present "Heroes of the Intellect: Unbelief and Enlightenment Values"
The talk will offer a compact and yet detailed history of unbelief from the classical and medieval periods through the Enlightenment to the present. Along the way, we will encounter:
- a lethal argument built on sand;
- an extremely dangerous book that never existed;
- a Christian who was willing to "spit in God's face";
- a decapitated gravestone in London;
- a touch of "cosmological vertigo"
- glowing praise of dissent in one of JFK's last public speeches.
