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!

How Did We Get Here?: Miracles

Reeder's Alley Conference & Community Center 101 Reeder's Alley, Helena, Montana, United States

In 1748, the Scottish philosopher David Hume defined a miracle as “a violation of the laws of nature,” and quickly went on to suggest that, at least in modern times, such things could never happen. This contrasts with classical times, where miracles were seen as very much being within the realm of possibility. In this evening’s program, we’ll survey some of the major changes and developments that allowed Hume’s statement to seem so obvious. And we’ll reflect on some ways in which the older, half-forgotten ways of seeing might still contain helpful possibilities for us today. Learn more & RSVP here!
