Letter: Squaring the circle

Published 27 November 2013

From Matt Billingham

Chris Rogers writes to explain that he, as an atheist, squares moral obligation with a wholly materialistic universe by ethics, compassion and self-respect (9 November, p 31).

This led me to wonder how atheists square ethics, compassion and self-respect with a wholly materialist universe. Now I’m concerned that I may be attempting to square a circular argument.
