Ethical Humanism: Religion for Non-Believers and Believers

This Spring, the Ethical Humanist Society of Philadelphia gave a workshop relating the religion of Ethical Culture to a big question: Who says your life has to have meaning? 

Even if you don't care about ideas like meaning, Ethical Humanism offers a sensible but inspiring understanding of life's journey. Ethical Humanism has historically been situated on the fringe of religion for 135 years and its approach is of use to both the confused and to know-italls. This workshop, designed for the curious, whether Society members or newcomers, will offer an opportunity to examine the philosophy of Ethical Humanism while questioning the "big issues," such as God, faith and morality.

Continuing the search for the meaning of life, the Philadelphia Society is offering the monthly series, "Worldly Wisdom

Great Books and the Meaning of Life."

James Sloan Allen has created a humanist approach to the Great Books. His book, Worldly Wisdom, is a series of commentaries that follow human wisdom from Homer's Iliad to the works of Sartre and Martin Luther King. His focus is the humanist ideas that appear in all these historic writings. This is a chance for members and friends of the Society to read and discuss those books we meant to read earlier in life while following the course of humanist thinking through the ages. Another advantage of this reading group is we will have the opportunity to examine our own lives in the presence of ideas from around the world and through the ages.
