Peter Forrest Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, UNE

6pm October 20, 2022

Location: Armidale Uniting Church, 114 Rusden St, Armidale

Enquiries: Greg Horsley ghorsley@une.edu.au

This lecture commemorates Richard L ‘Dick’ Franklin (1925-2015), an academic philosopher, a committed Christian and dedicated Anglican layman. He was deeply interested in the life of the mind, the articulation of faith and the ways in which faith informs living and learning. His last major book completed in the weeks before his death was: Is God finished? The Impact of Science and Secularism onOur Thinking and Our Living (2014)

Disagreement Among Peers: Summary

Intellectually competent, well informed and sincere truth seekers often disagree about important topics such as religion. Is it reasonable for both parties to stubbornly hold on to their convictions, or should both parties suspend their judgement?

Various responses are possible.

Dinner at the Cotswold Gardens will follow the Lecture at 7.30pm, 34 Marsh St Armidale.

Bookings essential. $50 for a two course meal.

Please RSVP to Peter Sanders 0407444767 by October 16th.
