Philosophy Workshop: Aristotle on Friendship

Reeder's Alley Conference Center 101 Reeder's Alley, Helena, MT, United States

In this evening's discussion program, we'll explore some of the core concepts in Aristotle's account of friendship.  We'll consider why one might pursue friendship, the role of ethical character, and what sorts of things help friendship flourish. We'll also ask whether friendship can arise only among equals, or whether it's possible for people of very different status to be friends as well (e.g., what it would take for genuine friendship to exist amidst such disparities of power, authority, or other human differences?). Learn more & RSVP here.

Philosophy Workshop: What is Virtue? (More than just ethics!)

Reeder's Alley Conference Center 101 Reeder's Alley, Helena, MT, United States

In this evening's program, we'll reflect on "virtue" in general, and the four cardinal virtues of wisdom, justice, courage, and moderation within traditional philosophies of human life.  And we'll examine how these virtues can extend well beyond the narrow domain of ethics, to encompass a much wider scope of our human aspirations and relationships.  Learn more & RSVP here!

In this 3-series session led by community philosopher David Nowakowski, we'll explore beauty and some of the various other themes that come up in the process, including madness, immortality of the soul, memory & learning, and more!
