SUMMARY:CFIC T.O. – Science & Philosophy Book Club – “The Moral Arc" by Michael Shermer
DESCRIPTION:This group is hosted by CFI Canada members Christine Gagnon and Vlad Bunea at our National Headquarters\, 55 Eglinton Ave E.\, Suite 307\, Buzzer Code 49\, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Suggested donation is $5. There is an after-event at a location near the office. \nThe goal is to provide a friendly\, free-thinking environment in which to discuss books that inspire rewarding conversation on subjects related to science and philosophy. \n \nMichael Shermer is the author of Why People Believe Weird Things\, The Believing Brain\, and eight other books on the evolution of human beliefs and behavior. He is the founding publisher of Skeptic magazine\, and an adjunct professor at Claremont Graduate University. \nIn his newest book (Jan 2015) The Moral Arc: How Science and Reason Lead Humanity Toward Truth\, Justice\, and Freedom\, Shermer attempts to explain how abstract reasoning\, rationality\, empiricism\, skepticism – scientific ways of thinking – have profoundly changed the way we perceive morality and move us closer to a more just world. \nCarol Tavris\, Ph.D.\, social psychologist and author said\, “I suspect that people will be arguing with Michael Shermer’s premise before they read a page: ‘The moral arc is bending toward truth\, justice\, and freedom? Is he hallucinating? Just look at…’ In these cynical times\, where right and left foresee disaster and despair (albeit for different reasons)\, Shermer’s monumental opus\, spanning centuries\, nations\, and cultures\, is bound to provoke debate and open minds. Exactly what an important work of skepticism\, science\, and reason should do.”
