Session 3: Positive Humanism as a Moral Foundation

Description

As humanists, we have chosen to ground morality in human well-being. But how can something as subjective as "well-being" be the foundation of a moral philosophy & worldview? In this guided conversation, we'll discuss how positive humanism addresses this dilemma and delivers a consistent sense of right and wrong without appealing to a supernatural power.

What to Expect: 

• An exploration series is part lecture, part facilitated conversation, and completely focused collective learning. Our experiences have shaped who we are and how we view the world – an exploration series creates a space for us to learn from each. During an exploration, facilitators provide background information on the evening's topic - this is followed by a guided discussion that encourages participants to share their experiences and engage in dialogue to gain a deeper understanding.

Agenda: 

• 6:00 PM - Socialize with other humanists over dinner & drinks
• 6:45 PM - Exploration series begins

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we, as the Humanist Explorer community, pledge to socialize, learn, and collaborate in a respectful and constructive manner. All participants are expected to abide by the Code of Conduct at Humanist Explorer events.
