Alan Saunders Memorial Lecture
ABC Radio National and the Australasian Association of Philosophy invite you to be part of a studio audience for the inaugural Alan Saunders Memorial Lecture.
Alan Saunders was a fine mind with a deep reserve of talent for communicating ideas. His extraordinary creation, The Philosopher’s Zone, spread the joy of philosophy to a national and increasingly global audience. He passed away in June 2012. He is much missed.
Now, in recognition of his enduring work ABC Radio National, in association with the Australasian Association of Philosophy (AAP), presents the Alan Saunders Memorial Lecture. Each year a significant thinker will be invited to publicly explore an important idea in honour and memory of Alan. The Lecture will be held as part of the yearly AAP conference, which brings leading philosophers from around the world to our shores.
The inaugural lecturer is the distinguished and much regarded British philosopher Simon Blackburn, a fitting choice given his own outstanding work in making philosophical ideas accessible to the wider public. His theme cuts to the big debate: is science all we need to understand human nature?
