The second annual Humanist Week conference of the British Humanist Association (BHA) will focus on Humanism, philosophy and the arts on 26th June 2010. The event is being run jointly with the South Place Ethical Society.
The speakers for the day include Julian Baggini, philosopher and co-founder of The Philosophers’ Magazine, poet Alan Brownjohn, moral philosopher and Vice-President of the BHA Richard Norman, award winning cartoonist Martin Rowson, philosopher Nigel Warburton and Ken Worpole, author of many books on architecture, landscape and public policy.
Andrew Copson, BHA Chief Executive said, ‘The arts are a powerful way of reflecting meaning in our lives. This conference seeks to explore questions ranging from the value of art as a whole, to the way we think about film, architecture, literature and the causing of offence. With a line up of wonderful speakers, plus performances of music and poetry it looks like it will prove an enjoyable and thought provoking day.’
