In this debate, Dr. Shelly Kagan and Dr. William Lan Craig will be defending their ideas on morality and their take on the question: “Is God Necessity For Morality”. It took place at Columbia University, February, 24th, 2009.
Dr. Kagan is a Philosophy Professor at Yale University, mostly know for his writings on Moral Philosophy and his course on Death.
Dr. William Lan Craig is a Philosopher, Theologian and Christian Apologist. Know for his debates about the existence of God with such figures as Christopher Hitchens and Lawrence M. Krauss.
This is a great example of what and how a debate is supposed to be, a fine source of arguments for those who defend the necessity of God for a moral behavior or those who think God is outright unnecessary.
Many times, debaters tend to drift away from the subject or forget that a debate is about discussing ideas, not personal attack. You are not getting any of this here. It’s a fine example of a first-rate, civil and admirable exchange of arguments between two gentlemen and well-prepared scholars.
