George Hammond, Author, Conversations with Socrates and Rational Idealism—Moderator
Are you the type who never tires in talking or thinking about philosophical, scientific or religious theories? Are you interested in psychological insights, or attempts at such insights, into human life? There are many who would insist that being realistic about human life means you should ignore such fundamental questions—starting around the time the ink dries on your diploma. But it is unrealistic to ignore the fundamental explanatory concepts which underlie each successful human civilization—which sometimes help and sometimes hinder us in our pursuit of happiness. Such profound questions are naturally provoked simply by living an alert life.
There are millions of realistic people, of all ages and walks of life, who also find it impossible to delegate to one infallible authority or another the task of providing all the answers to such questions. Life is not totally chaotic, even though it looks that way sometimes. Therefore, it’s helpful to be aware any subtle patterns to our experiences. Rejoin the continuing conversation of human civilization—this time at The Commonwealth Club.
Location: 110 The Embarcadero, Max Thelan Boardroom, San Francisco Time: 6 p.m. check-in, 6:30 p.m. program MLF: Humanities Program organizer: George Hammond
