The Irony Of Seeking To Create Atheists (Ep.16)
Manage episode 312371606 series 3233739
Street Epistemology is a wonderful way of engaging with others in conversations about beliefs. It seeks to explore what we believe, why we believe it, and most importantly how did we come to believe our belief is true. There are many wonderful videos online of people using this method of dialogue which I would invite you to watch.
Peter Boghossian coined the term 'Street Epistemology' in his book 'A Manual for Creating Atheists'. This is quite a wild ride of a book as on one hand Peter Boghossian advocates for using open, honest and reasoned dialogue but, as the title of the book suggests, this is mixed with a rather evangelistic zeal to "disabuse" people from their faith that turns rather authoritarian and manipulative as he thinks about society as a whole.
I discuss this fascinating example of contradiction and hypocrisy and what it tells us about how human inclinations for control.
