04/19/2015
Dave Collamer

Presentation by Dave Collamer. After Darwin's "Origin of Species" in 1859, a later shock for Judeo-Christian beliefs struck in 1882 when philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche declared "God is dead." With a seeming lack of purpose, and unclear morality in the universe, artists, writers, and philosophers attempted to fill the void with alternative purposes and moralities that still draw the interests of humanists today.
