Philosophy meetup - Courage

This week, let's talk about courage.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "the quality of character which shows itself in facing danger undaunted or in acting despite fear of lack of confidence." A definition from psychology is that courage is "not just about facing fear, but also involves perseverance, integrity & the willingness to act in accordance with one's values."

The Wikipedia page on courage is a good start. And AI offered some interesting questions on courage:

What does courage mean to you personally?
How is courage different from bravery, if at all?
What is the difference between physical, moral, social, and emotional courage?
Is courage an innate trait or a skill that can be developed and honed?
What is the most courageous thing you have ever done?
Have you not been courageous when, in retrospect, courage was called for?

Please join us every other Saturday for a casual philosophical discussion. Most weeks we will preselect a topic and add suggested readings, but some weeks will be open discussion. These meetings are lightly facilitated and open to anyone who likes to discuss life's fundamental questions.
