Think Inc. is pleased to announce the Australian tour of the celebrated Sam Harris, featuring special guest Maajid Nawaz in January 2016.
In the current social and intellectual landscape, Sam Harris is a valuable and vigorous agent of rational thought, where rational evidence thrives and religious evangelicalism dies. A neuroscientist, author, philosopher and critic of religion, Harris spearheads the New Atheism movement.
Alongside Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and the late Christopher Hitchens, Harris is one of the ‘four horsemen of the non-apocalypse’, dedicated to expelling from society the detriments of religious faith, and promoting the prosperities of science and secularism.
Harris has penned numerous bestselling and award-winning books detailing the detriments of religious indoctrination, whilst providing critical tools to self-fulfillment which fit within the modern social, secular and intellectual landscape: The End of Faith: Religion, Terror and the Future of Reason (2005), Letter to a Christian Nation (2006), The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values (2010), and Waking Up: a Guide to Spirituality Without Religion (2014).
Harris’ most recent book, Islam and the Future of Tolerance: a Dialogue is co-written with British politician, activist and ex-radical Maajid Nawaz, tackling the titan task of discussing how theists and non-theists can reach acceptance of mutually agreed-upon human rights in a world torn between religious extremism and misplaced cultural ‘tolerance’. As a special guest, Nawaz will appear as a 30 minute addition to show, after the hour of Sam Harris. He will also be present during the audience Q&A and meet and greet hour after the show.
Think Inc. – the team behind the Australian tours of Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson, Dr Michio Kaku, Dr Cornel West, and The ‘Amazing’ James Randi – are bringing to Australia An Evening with Sam Harris in January of 2016, featuring special guest Maajid Nawaz. Audiences will be engaged with these most celebrated of critical thinkers on the matters of science, spirituality, and secularisation in an age where their conflict with religion is as amplified as ever.
