Philosophy Salons

Beauty As Philosophy: Philosophy Salon

Some people are all about truth. They seek knowledge, prize honesty, and are willing to pay the price for it. For them, truth is the highest good. Others orient their lives toward ethics. They value good deeds, excellent character, and moral norms. It’s hard to compete with truth and morality. But there is a third value that stands out on that list: beauty. Beauty has a profound impact on our lives. It can also guide them: serve as a compass when we are in doubt or lost. In fact, some believe that beauty is as important as the other two values—and may even surpass them. But how can that be? Can beauty govern morality? Can it truly outweigh truth?

To The Stars: Philosophy Salon

Join us for a philosophical send-off to the year! We will close the year with the celebration of what makes us human and a little bit divine. We will talk about the hero and the hero's journey, the scary and silly monsters encountered along the way, exploration, exploitation, and innovation, and the biological drive that gets us out of bed (or cave) and onto the road. Come celebrate our journey this year! Ad Astra - to the stars!
