Dr. Scott Forschler to speak on religion and morality

Update: Dr. Forschler's talk can be seen in its entirety on our YouTube channel

Do moral values have their origins only in religious doctrine or can they arise from the purely physical, naturalistic world? Come and hear one philosopher's view on the origin and justification of moral values and his belief that they are created naturally by animal brains using two fascinating capacities: representation and recursion. De-mystify your view of moral reality.

Dr. Scott Forschler, a philosophy instructor at St. Cloud Technical and Community College, will be giving a talk on Monday, February 20th, at 7:00 pm, at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Hall in St. Cloud entitled "Morality De-Mystified". The program is open to the public and is free of charge.

Dr. Forschler has been teaching and writing about ethics for almost a decade and is working on a book on the foundations of morality. He has spoken on secular ethics to student groups throughout the Midwest, and at professional conferences both in the United States and internationally.

This program is sponsored by the Central Minnesota Freethinkers, a St. Cloud area charitable, social and educational organization of atheists, agnostics, humanists, secularists and freethinkers who meet regularly to foster a community of reason in Central Minnesota.
