Laureate Dawkins

Karlheinz Deschner and Richard Dawkins are undoubtedly among the most prominent critics of religion today. So far, the two authors have not met, but on Friday, October 12, such a meeting will take place in Frankfurt.

This is prompted by the award of the Deschner Prize to the Oxford-based evolutionary biologist. The ceremony for the first-ever presentation of this prize, which is awarded by the Giordano Bruno Stiftung and is worth €10,000, will take place in the auditorium of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt and begins at 7 pm.

Further information on the ceremony can be found at www.deschner-preis.de (German website).
