Episode 67 Dr. Erik Wielenberg JUL 15, 2012

Dr. Wielenberg is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Indiana’s DePauw University. He spent a year at the University of Notre Dame’s Center for Philosophy of Religion while doing his graduate work at the University of Massachusetts. Dr. Wielenberg’s research interests include moral psychology and epistemology plus the philosophy of religion. He is the author of two excellent books: Value and Virtue in a Godless Universe and God and the Reach of Reason. We asked Dr. Wielenberg to talk to us about the subject covered in these books– why the case for God fails, and the answers to the questions of how to have meaning and morality in a world like ours where God doesn’t exist. Enjoy!
