Philosophy Discussion Group

January 31 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

The UU Schenectady Philosophy Group meets online Wednesday, January 31st from 10:00 am until 12 noon.

Books we have read delve into the ideas and the written word about –  knowledge, truth, reality, reason, ethics, and government. NO prior knowledge of philosophy is needed to participate.

We are currently reading The Soul of America – A Battle for Our Better Angels, a timely New Book by Pulitzer Prize Winning Author Jon Meacham. On 1/31 we’ll explore Chapter 4 “The New and Good Things in the World” pg. 99 – 133.

Excerpts from reviews of this book:

“Rather than curse the darkness………This is a beautiful expressed and convincing prayer to
summon our own ‘better angels to meet the obvious challenges of today” – Ken Burns

“….it should be in every home and on every student’s desk” – Tom Brokaw
