FACE-TO-FACE@HUMANIST HOUSE:

About this event

FACE-TO-FACE@HUMANIST HOUSE events allow for people interested in learning and discussing humanism to meet in a dedicated space, in an atmosphere that allows time and space for good conversation on interesting topics. Topics discussed from a humanist perspective include philosophy and ethics, science and scepticism, contemporary social issues, civilisational and cosmic trajectories, and a range of other insights and issues. Topics are announced at least a week before the event. Participants will get the most of the events if they can come and share on a regular basis and not just picking favourite topics. ABOUT HUMANISM Humanism is a flexible, open-minded life philosophy where we explore our common humanity in an awesome world without theism (religion) and other supernatural beliefs. There is no dogma but a shared reality and an appreciation of basic human values like compassion, reason, and fairness. Humanism can be seen in the best aspects of the modern Enlightenment - secularism, science, social democracy, human rights, and human flourishing. We have a concern for the biosphere, and a delight in the world as it is - and as it could be. Our discussions respect reason, respect one another, and reject all dogmatic thinking. NSW Humanist Meetup is sponsored by the Humanist Society of NSW. The HSNSW encourages honest, open conversations held in a respectful manner.
