32: Talking to Humanist animals about other animals (and sentient beings) - A talk about Sentientism to the Dorset Humanists Group Sentientism

    • Philosophy

I gave this presentation to a meeting of the Dorset Humanist Group in the UK. It was a pleasure to be invited to talk and I really enjoyed the energetic and constructive discussion that followed.

Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already - listen to our back catalogue - give us a rating and/or a review - and recommend us to your friends (and enemies).

Given the audience were mostly Humanists I focused this presentation on how Sentientism extends Humanist concepts of evidence, reason and compassion. Many of those outside the Humanist tradition might prefer to consider Sentientism afresh - given that sentience was around long before humanity even existed.

If you'd like a copy of the presentation materials, get in touch via https://sentientism.info/
or visit one of our online Sentientism communities. You can also watch a video of my talk here on the Sentientism YouTube channel.

You can find the Dorset Humanists at https://dorset.humanist.org.uk/wp/, their YouTube channel (includes a recording of the Q+A that followed this presentation) is here and they're on Twitter at @DorsetHumanists.

Sentientism is “Evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings.” More at https://sentientism.info/. Join our "wall"
