Speakers: Piergiorgio Odifreddi (University of Turin, Italy) and Jan Woleński (Jagiellonian University, Poland)

Chair: Stanisław Krajewski (University of Warsaw, Poland)

What  are the reasons for disbelieving in the existence of God? Do these  reasons outweigh the reasons for believing in God as well as for  suspending belief in God? What kind of arguments are there to support  atheism? Do these arguments resist the peculiarities of the various  religious traditions so as to make belief in any God (or, to be more  precise, in the existence of any entity that falls under a concept of  God) irrational? These are some of the questions that will be addressed  in this session, which will be partially based on two works by the  speakers: Caro Papa, ti scrivo (which was answered by the  Pope Benedict XVI in his Letter to Atheist) and Theism, Fideism, Atheism, Agnosticism.
