Dr. Peter Cave lectures for The Open University, UK. He studied philosophy at University College London and King’s College Cambridge – and has held lecturing posts – and given guest lectures – abroad and in the UK.
Peter is chair of the British Humanist Association’s Humanist Philosophers’ Group and is often involved in public debates on philosophical, religious and political matters – including those of general public concern and everyday life.
Peter has scripted and presented humorous philosophy programmes for BBC Radio 4 – and has written many light philosophy articles for a range of popular philosophy magazines. His academic interests focus on paradoxes, with papers appearing in academic philosophy journals, American Philosophical Quarterly, The Monist, Analysis etc.
Peter’s books include Humanism (Oxford: Oneworld, 2009) which, as well as challenging religious belief, looks at humanist stances on ethics and politics and the meaning of life, taking us from matters of abortion and euthanasia to life’s absurdities. His latest book, with a slightly more academic tone, is This Sentence Is False: An Introduction to Philosophical Paradoxes (London: Continuum 2009).
