[BERG] BERG seminar this Wednesday (4pm, common room)

[Pawel Fedurek]

Dear BERGers,

Just a quick reminder that Bill Phillips (University of Stirling) will be giving a seminar this Wednesday entitled "Notions of Nature and Our Place in it" (abstract below). The seminar will be delivered in person in the common room.

Abstract: Philosophical, religious, and scientific notions of ancient Greek philosophers, through Erasmus and Charles Darwin and T. H. Huxley, until now will be broadly sketched to raise the following questions for discussion: Is there progressive evolution of intellect and morality? Is morality subjective and relative, or objective and absolute, or a bit of both? Is life essentially selfish, at all or any level of organisation from genes to human societies? In what sense are we free to choose what we think and do? How should science and moral beliefs be related to government? Open-minded discussion is hoped for, but unanimity is not expected.
