How to Be Good (Reading Group)

Please join us to discuss the book "How to be Good" by Massimo Pigliucci.

What Socrates Can Teach Us About the Art of Living Well.

The author draws on stories about Socrates, examples from Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius and Machiavelli, and modern interpretations to explore what philosophy can teach us about the quest for virtue today.

Is it possible to teach ourselves and others to become better people? Can we make ourselves into better human beings? Can we help others do the same? Can we get our leaders to care that humanity prospers, not just economically, but also spiritually?

Our second session will focus on Chapter 2, considering "Alas, Alcibiades, What a Condition You Suffer From!" So please read those pages if you can beforehand. This reading group will be facilitated by Akiva Quinn and Leslie Allan.

How to Be Good can be purchased from Readings for AUD 24.99
