Religion and Experience: A Philosophical Exploration

Professor Keith Ward DD FBA · Gresham College

Start with lecture 1 At Gresham College

About

It is a widely held philosophical belief that all knowledge begins with experience. But experience needs to be interpreted. This lecture argues that there are widespread human experiences of ‘transcendence’, and looks at the arts and at morality as providing examples of this. Such experiences need not involve God explicitly, but they postulate the existence of objective values that put in question a materialist view of reality.
