Philosophy Speakers Series

All are invited to the first talk in our 2022-23 Philosophy Speakers Series, to be held Monday, Nov. 21 from 3 to 4 pm in Main Building Room 211. 

Kevin Christy will present:

     ”Difficulties with the claim that God exists … or does not exist” 

     – a critique of arguments for and against “the existence of God” 

        based on insights drawn from Parmenides and Spinoza.  

Kevin’s talk will be introduced by Pamela Courtenay-Hall with a 5-minute prelude on “Five things that philosophers are after when they present arguments for or against the existence of God.” 

First responses to Kevin’s talk will come from our famous “existence of God” debaters, Malcolm Murray and Peter Koritansky.  Then we will open the floor to discussion.   

Please join us for thoughtful exploration of these ultimate questions.  If you can’t make it to Main 211, you can catch Kevin’s talk on zoom at the following link — please COPY AND PASTE this link into your browser:
