Tuesday, May 28 | Drop-In Discussion: Death & Dying
Guest presenter Professor Daniel Chadwick returns to discuss these two weighty topics. He will briefly touch on six philosophical approaches to these topics: Metaphysics (the reality), Epistemology (what is known), Ethics, Philosophy of Religion questions, Logic, and Aesthetics. Using these as a lens to scrutinize how we think about death/dying may open up other ways for us to understand this field of investigation. Drop-in Discussions meet via Zoom on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link in this blurb title!
