In Conversation with David Berlinski (2019) - Materialism, Darwinism, Artificial Intelligence & More

Описание: We join the famous author and academic, Dr. David Berlinski, in his Paris home to discuss materialism, God, the origin of language, morality, and more. An enjoyable conversation with this scintillating intellect.

Dr Berlinski is the author of 'The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and its Scientific Pretensions' (2009) as well as a host of other book on mathematics, science and history. He is a Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute's Centre for Science and Culture, and as an Editor of the online scientific journal 'Inference Review'.
