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.
