Does morality and ethics need religion?

Wednesday 23 October at 6 pm

Professor of nuclear chemistry, RNDr. Jiří Hála, a member of the Jewish Community of Brno and one of the last survivors who spent three years in Terezín as a child, is publishing a new book, his fifth in a row. Unlike the first, professional ones, in which he focused on radioactivity, in his latest books he has set his sights primarily on the toxic attention paid in the past by the Catholic Church to the "children of Jerusalem".

The book Does Morality and Ethics Need Religion? compiled as editor from the reflections of nine Anglo-Saxon philosophers and one physician. The answer is not hard to guess, just from the way the book's title is constructed. But the essays contained in the book force the reader to consider the subject in a broader context than is usual.

Discussion between the publisher and the author. Admission is voluntary.

 

The programme will take place in Villa Löw-Beer, Drobného 297, Brno
