Class: Century Philosophy: Phenomenology - Edmund Husserl
Do you think that the sciences ask all the best questions because they are concerned only with objective reality, and that things that are real can be objects for the sciences only? Do you think that philosophy just makes things up to explain what science cannot explain? Do you think that philosophy is disconnected from everyday life? Are phenomena ideas, or objects, or both, or neither?
Are these questions interesting to you? Then come and join us here at the Lake Country Unitarian Universalist Church, at the corner of County Roads K & E in Hartland, Wisconsin, classroom #3, from 5:30pm–7:00pm, EVERY OTHER WEDNESDAY: January 9th & 23rd, February 6th & 20th, March 6th & 20th, to explore what it means to know what you think you know. Thirty dollars ($30) is suggested as a donation to LCUUC. Previous completion of philosophy courses is not required. All are welcome.
Register for this class by going to Class Registration, by calling (262) 369-1703 or by email at admin@lcuuc.org. LCUUC members can also donate their registration fee by going on line to the church’s pledge and donation web-site.

Jan 25-April 12: The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt
The Big Ideas Book Group is sponsoring a discussion of The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics & Religion by Jonathan Haidt. In this “landmark contribution to humanity’s understanding of itself” (The New York Times Book Review) social psychologist Jonathan Haidt challenges conventional thinking about morality, politics, and religion in a way that speaks to conservatives and liberals alike.
Drawing on his twenty five years of groundbreaking research on moral psychology, Haidt shows how moral judgments arise not from reason but from gut feelings. He shows why liberals, conservatives, and libertarians have such different intuitions about right and wrong. In this subtle yet accessible book, Haidt gives you the key to understanding the miracle of human cooperation, as well as the curse of our eternal divisions and conflicts. If you’re ready to trade in anger for understanding, read The Righteous Mind.
Register for this class by going to Class Registration, by calling (262) 369-1703 or by email at admin@lcuuc.org.
What: Join us for a discussion of this provocative and important book
When: 6 Fridays from 7-8:30 pm (1/25, 2/8, 2/22, 3/15, 3/29, 4/12)
Where: LCUUC Room #2
Facilitator: Greg Valde

February 2 - Zero Waste Waukesha Program
The LCUUC Ministry for Earth, in cooperation with the Waukesha County Environmental Action League (WEAL), will be offering a program on WEAL’s “Zero Waste Waukesha” initiative. The program will include a video “Racing to Zero” documenting San Francisco’s program to eliminate all waste sent to the landfill by 2020 by treating garbage as a RESOURCE rather than just something to get rid of. Many communities across the US have committing to work on the Zero Waste initiative. The video will be followed by a discussion led by WEAL members Laurie Longtine and Charlene LeMoine.
Laurie and Charlene will also be sharing details of the global “Skip the Straw” movement during the discussion following the video. Plastic straws may seem harmless but can contribute to the more than 150 metric tons of plastics in the world’s oceans. They do not biodegrade but photodegrade into microplastics, which can be ingested by fish, birds and other wildlife and ultimately enter our food chain. Plastic straw bans are being enacted around the globe, including a number of cities in the United States. The state of California recently enacted legislation requiring dine-in restaurants to only give straws when requested, and statewide bans are being considered in Hawaii, New Jersey, and New York. Please join us to discuss how Waukesha County can work toward sustainability.
The program will be held at LCUUC from 7-8:30pm. Refreshments will be served in recyclable or washable containers and utensils, and NO STRAWS will be provided!

LCUUC’s Social Justice Committee has obtained a grant to show the film The Blood is at your Doorstep at UWM– Waukesha on Thursday, March 14th at 7pm. This film documents the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man diagnosed with schizophrenia by a police officer in Milwaukee responding to a non-emergency call.
