Description

Pinning down a definition of freewill can be downright impossible, and often conversations about freewill overlook metadesires. We don't claim to be ambitious enough to answer the freewill question in one evening. Still, we will explore how positive humanism views the subject and what a science-based approach to examining freewill can teach us.

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.
