How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Title: Choosing between Faith and Heresy

Abstract

Both faith and heresy involve being confident in the truth of a proposition whose truth is less than evident. But whereas the faithful believe in accord with some consensus, the heretic holds a belief that clashes with consensus. In this talk I consider the case for heresy, in three respects. First, I consider the very idea of believing in a proposition whose truth is less than evident. Second, I consider whether there is anything virtuous in in such beliefs when they go against the consensus. Third, I consider whether there is a case to be made for protecting society from heresy. Are there certain beliefs that are so problematic that we should find ways of sanctioning the people who believe them? How should we decide when to intervene?
