Hitchens, Dawkins, Hawking, Ehrman, Coin, Sagan: Where are the Woman?
#30
RE: Hitchens, Dawkins, Hawking, Ehrman, Coin, Sagan: Where are the Woman?
Patricia Churchland? She's kind of like a female Daniel Dennet in the sense that she's well-versed in both neuroscience and philosophy and likes to talk about how the former affects the latter. I don't think she spends much time arguing over religion, so I can't say for certain she's an atheist. But she spends quite a bit of energy arguing for a physical reductionist view of the brain, i.e. the soul is bullshit.

Note: I did find the one book of hers I read, "Touching a Nerve," to be underwhelming.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
