Bill Moyers interviews Daniel Dennett
I'm currently reading 'Breaking the Spell', and I would definitely reccomend it. I don't agree with everything Dennett says, and I think that reductionism and materialism can only explain so much, but it's very interesting and I support Dennett's call for the unfettered scientific study of religion - as should other theists.
Sam Harris on Intellectual Honesty
I don't really think Harris is one to speak about intellectual honesty!!!
Firstly, as Meera Nanda argued in the New Humanist in her review of 'The End of Faith', his analysis of religious extremism is flawed, and his criticism of religion is a mask to hide "what seems to be his real goal: a defense, nay, a celebration of Harris' own Dzogchen Buddhist and Advaita Vedantic Hindu spirituality."
Secondly, his book 'The End of Faith' is hugely biased against Islam and hugely forgiving of Judaism. The fact that Dershowitz gives the book a glowing review says it all. Harris even quotes Dershowitz's view of the Israeli state as being outstandingly tolerant in the face of Palestinian aggression!!! Harris conveniently ignore the fact that Israel as a state was built via the perpetration of horrific violence against the Palestinians and the British soldiers in Palestine. The fifty plus years of daily murder, abuse, persecution and humiliation of the Palestinians in the name of Zionism are conveniently excluded from Harris's consideration of religious extremism and terrorism.
This is not intellectual honesty!!!
