Manage episode 423184605 series 3291351
Dr. Ralph Lewis is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, a practicing psychiatrist, and blogs for Psychology Today. Leslie and Dr. Lewis explore the themes in his book, “Finding Purpose in a Godless World: Why We Care Even if the Universe Doesn’t”, including addressing some key questions:
Does the universe have a purpose?
Why are we humans so prone to believe that the universe is inherently purposeful?
If the universe has no purpose, does that mean human lives are meaningless and don’t matter?
How do we make moral judgments if we have no external or objective foundation for them?
