What a joy to stumble on this presentation by A C Grayling. Like many others, through his publications, I am very familiar with a good deal of what he stands for. I was nodding and smiling at every point and argument he made. I found myself laughing, not at him, but at much of what he said. Given the ridiculous posturing of religions, it's hardly surprising. I feel privileged to be alive at the same time as this man, I celebrate his incredible intellect, his understanding and wisdom, his glowing humanity. I hope history has the sense to recognise the greatness of this man; the way he addresses the many humanistic challenges of the world, the way his messages resonates within each of us, showing how to find and cherish the good. Thank you so much for posting this; you have made my day!
That's brilliant Peter, I have not read so much of this guy, but I like what he say's so I guess I'm hooked now! That's a very profound acknowledgement you gave him... Very nice... I'm sure he has reached millions of people in the world. What a great gift to have the ability and intellect to make people feel like this... Thank you again Peter, glad I made your day... Glad I found this too... :)
