Austin Dacey: The Secular Conscience
11:00 AM, Sunday, March 30, 2008 in Hollywood
4:30 PM, in Costa Mesa
Who decides what is moral and what is not in society? Cultural
conservatives from the Vatican to Washington DC say that ethics
presupposes religion, which thus belongs in public life. Secular
liberals counter that conscience is a private matter, a personal
choice free from shared standards of truth or right.
Philosopher Austin Dacey in his book, The Secular Conscience,
rethinks the nature of conscience and its role in public life, urging
secular liberals to reclaim the language of objective values.
Dacey, who holds a doctorate in applied ethics and social philosophy,
serves as a CFI representative to the U.N. working on issues of
secular values, science and ethics.
WHEN: 11:00 a.m., Sunday, March 30th, 2008.
