DESCRIPTION: Albert Einstein, the greatest intellect of his age, was both a scientist and a humanist. His scientific reputation invested credibility in his opinions on ethics, morality and society. In this lecture, Dr. Nathan W. Dean – dean of the Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and professor of physics at FAU – will discuss Einstein’s own writings that are used to explore his views on the nature of God and the conclusions he reached regarding science, religion and humankind. Einstein’s devotion to relativism and determinism in science are contrasted with the religious philosophy he publicly supported, as well as with the ethical and social judgments of his later years.
