SUMMARY:Does the Universe Have a Purpose? (the Forum)
DESCRIPTION:The traditional answer to this question is that God has a plan for the universe and we are part of it. Almost as traditionally\, atheists have countered that the universe has no purpose since a benevolent God does not exist. But what if the purpose of the universe does not involve us – or God – at all? Tim Mulgan explores this possibility in his recent book Purpose in the Universe (Oxford University Press\, 2015). He joins a panel of metaphysicians and philosophers of religion to debate his view.\n\nSpeakers\nJohn Cottingham\, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy\, University of Reading\nBeverley Clack\, Professor of Philosophy of Religion\, Oxford Brookes University\nTim Mulgan\, Professor of Moral and Political Philosophy\, University of St Andrews and Professor of Philosophy\, University of Auckland\n\nChair\nPeter Dennis\, Fellow\, Department of Philosophy\, Logic and Scientific Method\, LSE and Forum for European Philosophy Fellow\n\n \n\n#LSEFEP
