pplpodThe Contrarian: Christopher Hitchens on God, War, and the Art of the ArgumentIn this episode of pplpod, we explore the volatile life and intellect of Christopher Hitchens (1949–2011), the British-American author and journalist renowned for his "wit and eloquence" and his fearlessness in the pursuit of truth. We trace his complex ideological evolution, starting with his early days as a Trotskyist and member of the International Socialists to his controversial shift following the September 11 attacks, when he advocated for the invasion of Iraq and challenged "fascism with an Islamic face".Join us as we examine Hitchens’s role as one of the "Four Horsemen" of New Atheism, where he identified as a...

Grandes nomes do ateísmoChristopher Hitchens e a Moralidade Sem Deus🧠Moralidade Atea: Consciência e RazãoO texto consiste em um trecho de entrevista com Christopher Hitchens, autor do best-seller Deus Não É Grande, onde ele aborda a origem da moralidade fora do contexto religioso. Hitchens considera a pergunta sobre como os ateus distinguem o certo do errado insultuosa, pois ela sugere que a ética é inerentemente impossível na ausência de uma "ditadura celestial". Ele defende vigorosamente que a moralidade é uma capacidade inata e evoluída do ser humano, essencial para a convivência social, e argu...

And That’s Beautiful' - Reflections On Christopher Hitchens, Physics & The UniverseTheoretical physicist and bestselling author Lawrence Krauss (A Universe from Nothing, The Known Unknowns) explores the biggest questions we can ask: How did the universe begin? Why is there something rather than nothing? What is consciousness? And what will remain when every star has burned out?Krauss moves seamlessly from the hard science of the Big Bang and dark energy to existential philosophy, arguing that our cosmic insignificance is precisely what makes life meaningful. Along the way he shares personal stories—mentorship from Nobel laureates, serendipitous discoveries, his...

Cold and Lonely TruthDebate: Does God Exist? William Lane Craig vs. Christopher Hitchens (2009)On April 4, 2009, William Lane Craig and Christopher Hitchens met at Biola University to debate the question of God’s existence. Craig is one of the world’s foremost Christian apologists. Hitchens, is a leading spokesman for the “new atheism” movement.
In front of an overflow crowd and a global internet audience, they debated the origin and design of the universe, the implications of human morality, the deity of Jesus, and the validity of Christ’s resurrection. It was a compelling clash of worldviews and an examination of the major arguments for and against Christianity and atheism.

Peter Hitchens, Ed Turner & Peter HarrisFrom 2016: Until his death from cancer over four years ago, Christopher Hitchens was one of the preeminent figures of new atheism: a prolific writer who was eloquent, witty and in great demand for his speaking and debating. Justin is joined by Christopher's brother Peter Hitchens who is a columnist for the Mail On Sunday, atheist blogger Ed Turner, and Peter Harris, a Christian apologist writing a PhD on Hitchens. In this show we assess some of his arguments against religion, including the claim that "religion poisons everything" and belief in God is like believing in a celestial North Korean dictator.

The Hated and the DeadEP86: Christopher HitchensChristopher Hitchens was an Anglo-American writer, journalist, literary critic and essayist. Not a thinker who one can characterise easily, the one thing linking all Hitchens’ writing and his utterances- he was a formidable debater- was his opposition to totalitarian thought. This often sparked controversy- especially his views on Islam and his support for the War in Iraq- but for all the descriptions of him as a shallow contrarian, the authenticity of his opposition to totalitarian ideologies cannot be denied.

Decoding the GurusChristopher Hitchens: Rhetoric, Religion, and RamadanOur short-lived Christopher Hitchens ends in our second episode and full-length decoding of the punchy Brit. This time we are examining one of his well-known religion-themed debates, debating the question 'Is Islam a Religion of Peace?' for The 92nd Street Y, New York with the academic and writer Tariq Ramadan. This one feels like a bit of a throwback to a post-9/11 & Iraq war world. New Atheism was still a cultural force with some punch but it had also received its own fair share of body blows since its earlier days as a plucky new contender.

Hitchens excelled at polemics. He considered himself to be politically liberal and yet expressed his full-throated support for the war in Iraq and called Hillary Clinton “an aging and resentful female”. And then there were the blistering attacks on religion and religious belief. He also details: how religion is a worse than any totalitarian regime, why science and religion are fundamentally incompatible, and why it’s a bad time for secularism in politics. Somehow, despite this talk being 13 years old now...

Though Hitchens always pilloried the existence of a higher power and those who believed in one, his earlier output—defined by his elite education, Marxism, and savvy deployments of Beltway gossip—seems at odds with his later years as a road-show atheist.

The Time of MonstersPodcast: What Happened to Christopher Hitchens?In the days after September 11, 2001, Christopher Hitchens became unmoored. His politics had been in flux for a few years prior, but the terrorist attacks, to which Hitchens initially reacted with wariness and uncertainty, transformed his worldview. Before 9/11 Hitchens had been very broadly an anti-imperialist, albeit one who became in the 1990s increasingly open to military interventions (such as the Bosnian War, which could be justified on liberal humanitarian grounds). But after 9/11, Hitchens became something more than a critical supporter of a few military interventions. He turned into nothing less than a pro bono mouthpiece for the Paul W...

Christopher Hitchens died ten years ago this month.. Ben wrote a book about him that’s coming out on New Years (https://redemmas.org/titles/36536-christopher-hitchens--what-he-got-right--how-he-went-wrong--and-why-he-still-matters). Ben and guest Josh Strachan, who was one of Hitchens’s students at the New School, are going to talk and take calls about what was good (sometimes very good—see many of his books and debates) and bad (sometimes horrifically bad—see his support for the Iraq War) about “Hitch” and his many legacies.

Beyond Atheism PodcastEpisode 25: The Legacy of Christopher Hitchens, with Dr. Ben BurgisChristopher Hitchens was perhaps the wittiest and most vibrant of the atheist “Four Horsemen” until his passing in 2011. In addition to religious criticism, over his long career as a writer and journalist, “Hitch” turned his critical pen against many figures, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Henry Kissinger, and even Mother Teresa. But his career was not without controversy, particularly his support for the Iraq War in 2003, which seemed to contradict his socialist politics. To talk about Hitchens’s complex legacy – and other subjects including cancel culture, YouTube debates, and the links between socialism and atheism – we are joined by Dr. Ben Burgis, a...

Hitch was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in 2010 and the disease 'battled him' for a 1.5 years before his death. The book is not focused on death itself, but more the process of dying. This includes his thoughts on being in/out of hospital, deterioration of the body and the public perception/reaction to cancer.I summarised the book as follows.

Peter Hitchens, Ed Turner & Peter Harris (plus Unbelievable? 2016 announced)Until his death from cancer over four years ago, Christopher Hitchens was one of the preeminent figures of new atheism: a prolific writer who was eloquent, witty and in great demand for his speaking and debating.

In this show we assess some of his arguments against religion, including the claim that "religion poisons everything" and belief in God is like believing in a celestial North Korean dictator.

His intellectual commentary continues along the lines of his bestselling book, God is Not Great, as he argues that the mythology of religions is not only absurd but, in many instances, destructive.
