_*Sunday 7/10*_ 10:30 am"The Atheist Spirituality of Andre
Comte-Sponville" with Hugh Taft-Morales:
In /The Little Book of Atheist Spirituality/, French philosopher
Comte-Sponville reaches into Eastern philosophy to offer a form of
spirituality that even an atheist could love. It is a spirituality
devoid of supernaturalism but full of friendship and community. He
embraces a rational humanism that avoids both nihilism and hostility
towards religion. Hugh will explore if such a perspective is consistent
with Ethical Culture.
