À propos de ce contenu audio
An exploration of the question whether anyone should want theism to be true. This thought experiment leads to fascinating and important insights. This talk was a Cui Bono presentation in the CUI Heritage Garden.
Dr. Ballard is assistant professor of philosophy at CUI. He works in ethics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of religion. His primary question these days is: How does religious faith affect human flourishing? How, for instance, does faith allow us to make meaning out of suffering, or craft a sense of identity, or find a basis for radical forgiveness?
Ballard earned his PhD from the University of Pittsburgh under Edouard Machery, John McDowell, Karl Schafer, Jim Woodward, and Crispin Wright. Before that, he earned his MA from NYU under David Velleman.
