Street Epistemology Workshop with Anthony Magnabosco
“Humanist Perspectives” – A Monthly 3rd Saturday Morning Series with Refreshments. Note: This month, the session starts at 11:00 am, an hour later than usual.
Street Epistemology is a conversational approach that helps people reflect on the beliefs they have formed and examine the methods used during their belief formation process. Based on the Socratic method and book by Dr. Peter Boghossian, Street Epistemology is gaining momentum in the skeptic community and helping people re-evaluate their deeply-held beliefs without backfiring and causing a person to drive deeper into certainty. Anthony Magnabosco is a leading practitioner and proponent of Street Epistemology, has given several talks on the subject, and has conducted hundreds of conversations with people about a wide variety of supernatural and sociological beliefs, many of which have been filmed and uploaded to YouTube so others can emulate the technique. Watch your conversations on controversial topics shift from aggressive debate that go nowhere to productive dialogues that actually make a difference.
The workshop comes on the heels of Peter Bogossian speaking at the Secular Hub on Saturday, July 29th. Peter gave a great talk. He created the technique of Street Epistemology. Anthony was featured in videos talking to religious persons.
Please RSVP through this Meetup, to Jim Bole (randjbole@gmail.com), or Tom Kellogg (kellogg52@gmail.com), so we have an estimate of food and drinks required.
Thanks to Chris and the Secular Hub for sharing Anthony Magnabosco for our Humanist Perspectives program.
