Humanism: Morality without God

Some theologians claim that if God did not exist, there would be no grounding for our moral judgments. Leslie Allan presents a humanist view that challenges the presumption that moral objectivity consists in tapping into a realm of human-independent facts. He endeavours to show that moral judgments are expressions of human preferences taken from an impartial standpoint, leaving no room for a deity. Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion.
