'Proving Atheism' - An Evening With A C Grayling


Listen Later

Myself and fellow sociologist Richard Remelie discuss an event we attended from the esteemed AC Grayling, one of the most eminent philosophers and authors in the realm of atheism (although he writes on a range of other subjects too). We analysis/review Graylings arguments for atheism and cover a wide range of ideas he covers in his lecture, e.g. his thoughts on inductive and deductive reasoning, uncertainty and the nature of knowledge, as well as reflecting on what atheism actually is. This lecture took place at the Manchester Meeting House and was run in collaboration with Atheism UK and the Great Manchester Humanists (links below to learn more).
