Christopher Eric Hitchens (13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011) was a British and U.S. author, journalist, and educator. Author of 18 books on faith, culture, politics and literature, he was born and educated in Britain, graduating in the 1970s from Oxford with a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. In the early 1980s, he emigrated to the U.S., where he gained prominence as a columnist and speaker. His epistemological razor, which states that "what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence", is still of mark in philosophy and law. Hitchens was an ardent advocate for the separation of church and state, and a self-described antitheist. Hitchens defended the right of free speech and free inquiry regarding David Irving´s revisionist publications.
