Eyes on the Sky: Richard Dawkins

This event has ended

Merrion Square Park, Saturday 21st May

In a book that looks to the sky, Richard Dawkins takes us on a flight of fancy.

There is more to flight than flying, it would seem, and Richard Dawkins’s latest work, Flights of Fancy proves this in his trademark persuasive style. An examination of nature, of ideas, and of dreams, this book takes us from the mythological tragedy of Icarus, to the extinct glory of the Argentavis magnificens, to the modern-day pilots who ferry us around the world.

One of the world’s most eminent scientists and thinkers, Dawkins is often controversial, though as a conversationalist, he is endlessly engaging. As he returns to our festival stage in Dublin, this is an event guaranteed to make the soul soar.

Please note that you also have the option to watch this event live from the comfort of your own home. Make sure you select “Book Online Event” if you wish to do so.
