In the name of the Father: understanding monotheism and fundamentalism
Why have the reports of the death of God turned out to be greatly exaggerated? Why has the appeal of religion proved so tenacious? Philosopher Russell Grigg will discuss some of the deep psychological reasons for the continuing hold that religion, especially monotheism, has over the human mind.
He offers some ideas about the psychological forces behind two recent phenomena: the rise of fundamentalism and the emergence of new forms of spiritualism.
Chaired by Dr Nick Trakakis, School of Philosophy & Bioethics, Monash University.
