Felix Adler, the founder of Ethical Culture, published many philosophical works. We are starting a Reading Group to explore this work together. We are especially welcoming of those who are, as we are, new to Ethical Culture and inquisitive about these ideas. We intend to select passages to read, and then meet to discuss them. 

We ask: What does each participant think about their validity and relevance to our Ethical Community? Do the concepts work for us in today’s scenarios? Can they help us answer the ancient question of what is a “good life”? 

The Date: We will be having our first meeting this weekend, August 3rd. We will be discussing the first two chapters of Adler’s The Reconstruction of the Spiritual Ideal, with a focus on Chapter 1. A PDF is available upon request.
