Two Beers Until Phronesis

15. Humanism (w/ Zach)


Listen Later

In this episode Connor invites Zach to discuss the secular worldview of Humanism, a positive non-religious philosophy. The two sit back and take an hour to reminisce about their experiences running a local Humanist group and attempt to explain what exactly Humanism means and how its grounding and ethics might differ from religion. Drawing from dodgy experiences with "New Atheism", degrees in religion and a dissertation on Humanism, Connor also highlights some of the issues with the philosophy and its relationship with religiosity.  

We reflect on the good times and bad we had in the group, from religion-bashing and gate-crashers, to countryside walks and friendships made, as well as Humanist causes and ceremonies. We also touch on ideas of morality, truth and the ingredients to a kermit cocktail.
