Christopher Hitchens: Talks & Debates

Christopher Hitchens vs. Shashi Tharoor 2007

June 7, 2007.Found a better quality one that wasn't on youtube.Christopher Hitchens is widely-published polemicist and frequent radio and TV commentator and contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a visiting professor of liberal studies at the New School. In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's recent bestseller, The End of Faith, Hitchens makes a case against religion in God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. With a close reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which he believes religion is a cause of dangerous sexual repression and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos, and frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason.

Christopher Hitchens Debates Al Sharpton - New York Public

February 1, 2007.Martin Amis discussed the mild anti-semitism of his own father, and gave his thoughts on Israel. He read from Saul Bellow's book on Israel, and suggests that there is a great deal of anxiety among Jews about the future of Israel.Christopher Hitchens, who only discovered he was Jewish in 1989, talked about the place of Judaism in history: about Voltaire, suspicion, Israel, and the Jewish diaspora. Martin Amis then discussed the Jewish concept of manhood, before going on to contemplate the effect of 9/11 on the Jewish community. Hitchens then touched on some moments that betray a prejudice against Jews that still lingers even after the Holocaust, including the claims made in America in 1989 that Jewish doctors were deliberately injecting black babies with Aids. He suggest that pejudice against Jews is different from other kinds, because it takes a pseudo-intellectual, as opposed to superficial and ignorant form. Amis then seeked to define the actual concept of anti-semitism, before Hitchens considered the perception of Jews as masters of finance.Credit to: https://old.intelligencesquared.com/talks/no-laughing-matter-martin-amis-in-conversation-with-christopher-hitchens
