Well-Beings: A Gathering to Explore Ways of Living Well Together

Well-Beings: A Gathering to Explore Ways of Living Well Together w/ Guadalupe Arellanes, PhD

IN THE LECTURE ROOM

“Well-Beings” is a monthly gathering for existential souls and wandering minds to explore ways of living well together. Each month, we will share space for informal conversations prompted by philosophical thoughts and our own questions about society, values, truth, freedom, and existence.

No advance preparation or knowledge is required, unless stated in the meeting description. Light snacks will be provided.

For our first session, we will discuss social ecology as proposed by Murray Bookchin: “Social ecology is based on the conviction that nearly all of our present ecological problems originate in deep-seated social problems. It follows, from this view, that these ecological problems cannot be understood, let alone solved, without a careful understanding of our existing society and the irrationalities that dominate it”.
