Come and join us from 5:30pm–7:00pm. The classes will be held in Room #3 on every other Thursday from January 30th through April 30th, 2020. What ought I to do? This question is asked by every person concerned about ethics. Immanuel Kant maintains that concern for morality is built into reason’s need and therefore represents the best in being human. Emmanuel Levinas thinks that the source of the good lies entirely outside of the self, in fact, that the otherness of other people is the source of moral obligation, undetermined by reason. Thirty dollars is suggested as a donation to the LCUUC. The instructor receives no compensation. All are welcome. Purchase of a textbook is not required. Gus Santo is the instructor. To sign up, please go to Class Registration or send an email to admin@lcuuc.org. You can make payments online by going to GiveNow. Φιλοσοφια βιου κυβερνητης: "Philosophy is the guide of life."

Feb 7-May 22 - Big Ideas Book Group: Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment
From one of America’s most brilliant writers, a journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of meditation to show how Buddhism holds a key to moral clarity and enduring happiness. At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer—and the reason we make other people suffer—is that we don’t see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness.
Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life—how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. He also shows why this transformation works, drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution.
Written with the wit, clarity, and grace for which Wright is famous, Why Buddhism Is True lays the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age and shows how, in a time of technological distraction and social division, we can save ourselves from ourselves, both as individuals and as a species.
