Christopher Hitchens: Talks & Debates

6/7/2007Christopher Hitchens is widely-published polemicist and frequent radio and TV commentator and contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a visiting professor of liberal studies at the New School. In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's recent bestseller, The End of Faith, Hitchens makes a case against religion in God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. With a close reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which he believes religion is a cause of dangerous sexual repression and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos, and frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life and University Book Store.

In 2006, Christopher Hitchens was invited by the University of Toronto's Hart House Debating Club to voice his opinion on the subject of the evening's debate: Be it resolved: Freedom of speech includes the freedom to hate.The entire debate can be found here https://tvo.org/video/archive/big-ideas/christopher-hitchens

Freedom of Speech - Christopher HitchensI am sure that all British journalists will agree with the statement issued by Jodie Ginsberg, chief executive of Index on Censorship, following the murderous attack on the staff of the French magazine Charlie Hebdo:“The ability to express ourselves freely is fundamental to a free society. This includes the freedom to publish, to satirise, to joke, to criticise, even when that might cause offence to others. Those who wish to silence free speech must never be allowed to prevail”.Similarly, we can all agree with Michelle Stanistreet, general secretary of the National Union of Journalists, who described the attack as “an attempt to assassinate the free press”. She added:“Supporters of free speech and civil liberties must stand together with governments to condemn this act and defend the right of all journalists to do their job without fear of threats, intimidation and brutal murder”.Doubtless, there will be people who think the magazine was overly provocative in publishing cartoons of Islam’s prophet Mohammed. If so, they should think again.Let them ponder this key clause in the United Nations’ universal declaration of human rights: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers”Press freedom and the freedom of speech allow for newspapers and individual citizens to express views that are offensive. Britain, in company with countries across Europe and the continents of America and Australia, long ago repealed - or never enacted - laws condemning heretics (and blasphemers) to death.Although we know that Voltaire never did write the words ascribed to him about the right to speak freely, they are, or should be, our maxim:“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”.

http://www.npr.org/2007/10/23/15328527/hitchens-how-paines-rights-changed-the-world'Thomas Paine's Rights of Man: A Biography'by Christopher HitchensChristopher Hitchens, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of God Is Not Great has been called a Tom Paine for our times, and in this addition to the Books that Changed the World Series, he vividly introduces Paine and his Declaration of the Rights of Man, the world's foremost defense of democracy. Inspired by his outrage at Edmund Burke's attack on the French Revolution, Paine's text is a passionate defense of man's inalienable rights, and the key to his reputation. Ever since the day of publication in 1791, Declaration of the Rights of Man has been celebrated, criticized, maligned, suppressed, and co-opted, but in Thomas Paine's Rights of Man, Hitchens marvels at its forethought and revels in its contentiousness. Famous as a polemicist and provocative commentator, Hitchens is a political descendent of the great pamphleteer. In this engaging work he demonstrates how Thomas Paine's book forms the philosophical cornerstone of the United States of America, and how "in a time when both rights and reason are under attack, the life and writing of Thomas Paine will always be part of the arsenal on which we shall need to depend." Christopher Hitchens is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a visiting professor in liberal studies at the New School in New York. His books include Why Orwell Matters, Thomas Jefferson: Author of America, and God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.

In this fiery and unforgettable exchange, Christopher Hitchens confronts a Texas host over the issue of so-called “charlatan pastors,” delivering razor-sharp arguments and trademark wit. As the conversation intensifies, Hitchens challenges the integrity, influence, and accountability of certain religious figures, sparking a tense and thought-provoking clash. This gripping moment dives into questions of faith, skepticism, and truth—making it a must-watch for anyone interested in bold debates and unapologetic critical thinking.
