The Moral Maze today recorded its 500th episode and marked the occasion with a special programme in front of a live audience at the Royal Society of Medicine. Our Chief Executive Hanne Stinson was in the audience, as a previous witness on the Moral Maze.
The panel were discussing morality without religion – what is the source of ethics for non-religious people. The Humanist side was argued by the chair of the BHA’s Philosophers’ Group Peter Cave, whose Beginners’ Guide to Humanism is now available in paperback and by Dr Evan Harris MP who, on the same day had just become a Vice President of the BHA!
This was an excellent programme, which you can listen to again on the BBC website.
Notes
The British Humanist Association (BHA) is the national charity representing the interests of the large and growing population of ethically concerned non-religious people living in the UK. It exists to support and represent such people, who seek to live good lives without religious or superstitious beliefs.
