Response to the God Delusion and Richard Dawkins

# click the up-left corner to select videos from the playlist

Richard Dawkins' book The God Delusion has been a run away best seller. It has stimulated global debate, not always very charitable, about whether Dawkins is right to say that it is probably the case that God does not exist. During this weekend philosophers Marianne Talbot and Stephen Law will discuss the debate from a philosophical point of view. What are Dawkins' arguments? Are they good arguments? Are they conclusive arguments? Where does the debate about God's existence stand now?

Response to Dawkins: Is the God Hypothesis a Scientific Hypothesis? 1:29:48 Marianne Talbot gives the first talk on Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion as part of The God Delusion Weekend. She discusses whether Dawkins' first premise of his overall argument- that the God Hypothesis is a scientific hypothesis, is correct using a philosophical point of view and deductive logic. The video is part of the 2010 God Delusion Weekend series published by the University of Oxford.
Response to Dawkins: Strengths and Weaknesses of the God Delusion 1:26:13 Stephen Law givs the second talk on Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion as part of The God Delusion Weekend. The video is part of the 2010 God Delusion Weekend series published by the University of Oxford.
Response to Dawkins: The Mind, Belief, Free Will, and God 1:08:23 Marianne Talbot presents the third talk on Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion as part of The God Delusion Weekend. She examines Dawkin's assertion that the mind and brain are the same thing, which would question the existence of free will, and therefore, God.
Response to Dawkins: Attacking the God Hypothesis in Other Ways 1:12:25 Stephen Law gives the fourth talk on Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion as part of The God Delusion Weekend. The video is part of the 2010 God Delusion Weekend series published by the University of Oxford.
Response to Dawkins: The God Delusion Q&A 1:14:43 Stephen Law and Marianne Talbot take part in a panel discussion with Tom Fisher, chairman of the Oxford Philosophical Society, chairing. They answer questions form the audience about The God Delusion and discuss the philosophical issues surrounding it.

The New Psychology of Depression by Mark Williams and Danny Penman (2011, U of Oxford)

We live in a world filled with material wealth, live longer and healthier lives, and yet anxiety, stress, unhappiness, and depression have never been more common. What are the driving forces behind these interlinked global epidemics? In this series, Professor Mark Williams (Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow at Oxford University) and Dr Danny Penman discuss the recent scientific advances that have radically altered our understanding of depression and related disorders. Also discussed is the latest treatments and therapies that are offering hope to those suffering from depression. Professor Williams co-developed Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), a treatment for anxiety, stress and depression that is at least as effective as drugs at preventing new episodes of depression. It's now one of the preferred treatments for depression recommended by the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. The same technique, based upon an ancient form of meditation, can also help us cope more effectively with the relentless demands of our increasingly frantic world. Professor Williams and Dr Penman co-authored the bestselling book Mindfulness: Finding Peace in a Frantic World.
