Faith & Secularism: The Moral Resourcing of the Nation - dialogue and debate

14th November 2012 at 6:15 pm

Professor Angie Hobbs (Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy, University of Sheffield)
Professor John Milbank (Professor of Religion, Politics & Ethics, University of Nottingham)    

How can morality best be shaped in a plural society which is constantly under pressure from multiple strands of opinion and a variety of social forces?  What shared historic and contemporary moral and religious resources can be brought to bear on issues such as the quest for wealth, fame, competition, self-esteem? Can faith and secular work together to renew our moral resources?  An agnostic professor of philosophy and a radical orthodox professor of theology debated the issues.
