Steven Pinker on 'The Better Angels of Our Nature' (Video)

Back in March I attended the exceptional annual Voltaire Lecture, hosted by the British Humanist Association. This particular talk - given by 'Canadian-born experimental psychologist, cognitive scientist, linguist and popular science author' Steven Pinker (pictured left) and chaired by the wonderful Jim Al-Khalili - focused on, essentially, the question…See More

"I just saw that video and thought it was great! Peter Singer is amazing. I've always enjoyed and appreciated his philosophy ever since, when I was 16, I read his book Animal Liberation and became a vegan. It forever changed my perspective!"

Michel commented on Carnun's blog post I Call Bollocks: "Contraception: A Psychological Prostitution"
"1- Anybody who "knows" anything about a divine plan needs to be interrogated thoroughly and screened for other mental issues.  2- This reeks of nostalgia for a time when women were indeed half-people."

"Some friends have told philosophy is a pastime for the rich. Only one whose basic needs have been met can engage in philosophy. As to atheism being a white affair. Well anyone who says that has not met me :)"

Last Tuesday was a good day. Peter Singer gave a lecture.

I'd been looking forward to it for some time, early on securing a place on the Facebook first-come-first-served waiting list just to be sure of a seat. Of Singer, I knew fairly little. His name was familiar (as it turns out I have one of his books in my room), but I had no idea of his philosophy,…
