SUMMARY:CFI Calgary - Dr. Richard Carrier - The Scientist in the Early Roman Empire
DESCRIPTION:Ancient scientists:\nWho were they?\nWhat did they accomplish?\nWhat did people think of them?\nHow did they advance the sciences?\nAnd what does this tell us about how pagans and Christians differed in their scientific values? \nRichard Carrier received his Ph.D. in ancient history from Columbia University studying this subject. He will précis his forthcoming book of the same title\, take questions from the audience\, and sell and sign his many other books. \nRichard Carrier is a philosopher and historian with degrees from Berkeley and Columbia\, specializing in the contemporary philosophy of naturalism\, and in Greco-Roman philosophy\, science\, and religion\, including the origins of Christianity. He blogs and lectures worldwide\, teaches courses online at The Secular Academy\, and is the author of many books\, including his defense of a naturalist worldview in Sense and Goodness without God\, his academic case for the non-existence of Jesus in On the Historicity of Jesus\, his work on historical methodology in Proving History\, his study of ancient science in Science Education in the Early Roman Empire\, his responses to 21st century Christian apologetics in Why I Am Not a Christian and Not the Impossible Faith\, and an anthology of his papers on the subject of history in Hitler Homer Bible Christ. He has also authored chapters in many other books\, and articles in magazines and academic journals\, and on his namesake blog\, covering subjects from politics and philosophy to feminism and polyamory.
