Ethical Matters: If God is the Answer, What is the Question?

You can argue about God forever, and not change your mind. Believers and non-believers often talk at cross-purposes, both failing to grasp what is really going on when we argue about God. God might be the answer to a yearning for justice, or harmony, significance or freedom. Or God might be the answer to the shadows where our intellect cannot go. So where do we go when the facts run out? Philosophy.

Philosophy experts Prof Christopher Insole and Dr Stephen Law discuss the role of philosophy in going beyond the limits of reason to a place where we might find empathy for all our fellow persons, each engaged in the struggle to live a meaningful life.
