Document New Website on Secular Philosophy

by SecularPhilosophy.com

See:
http://secularphilosophy.com/

About (from their site):

Welcome to Secular Philosophy, a site dedicated to the exchange of ideas and debate relating to all things secular with an emphasis on philosophy. Here you will find exclusive films, books and blogs by Daniel Dennett, Colin McGinn and Massimo Pigliucci, as well as the Center for Inquiry's Point of Inquiry podcast every Friday evening.

Hosted by D.J. Grothe, Point of Inquiry streams live interviews with Nobel Prize-winning scientists, social critics and theorists, as well as renowned artists and entertainers. Each conversation focuses on issues relevant to the secular cause: religion and society, humanist values, philosophy and scientific inquiry. On Secular Philosophy, you can listen to the interviews, subscribe to the podcast and download them as mp3s.

In addition, we have acquired the exclusive rights to release on DVD The Atheism Tapes, the source material companion series to Jonathan Miller's ground breaking A Rough History of Disbelief, which aired on PBS. The Atheism Tapes, produced and hosted by Jonathan Miller with the BBC, compiles off -the-record interviews with six of today's leading thinkers who reveal why they are atheists: Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Colin McGinn, Arthur Miller, Denys Turner and Steven Weinberg discuss their personal intellectual journeys and defense of non theism from a wide range of perspectives.

We will be releasing this series on our newly launched Alive Mind label on February 15th and taking pre-orders starting February 1. Subscribe to the Alive Mind newsletter and receive a 10% coupon.

 avatarThere's a slight error in their message; Denys Turner is a Christian theologian.

 avatarThe Jonathan Miller/Denys Turner discussion is compulsive viewing. Miller has the knowledge and persistence required to strip away all the theological nonsense from Turner's arguments.

Prof. Dawkins interview in The Atheism Tapes is in my opinion the best all around one he has given.
Miller is very knowledgeable of the arguments and covers all the issues well.
I highly recommend seeing it if you have the chance.

A great interview, Jonathan Miller is impressive and I'm glad to be on his side. Denys Turner's recourse was always on the mystery of hows things came to be, the 'big question', but then assumes God as an answer - typical.
