OUR VALUES
We believe in examining values!
We believe in taking an undogmatic approach to questions of how we should live and what is most important
in this life. We believe in questioning popular opinions and the habits or traditions that we often follow without much thought. We believe in considering alternatives and evaluating their meaning and worth.
We believe in books!
The paper kind that you hold in your hand and mark up with your pencil and highlighter. Books have the power to
expose us to new worlds and to change our minds, hearts, and behaviors. In the age of the tweet, we believe it takes more than 140 characters and a few seconds to articulate ideas fully, to explain oneself, to argue a point, and to build common understanding.
We believe in conversation!
The face-to-face kind, where we look each other in the eye. Conversation offers an opportunity to think through
the strengths and weaknesses of different arguments with partners who have different experiences. It builds a community of truth-seekers and people who care about improving their lives. In the age of social media and anonymous online debate, talking in person offers a rare opportunity to be present with others and participate in civil discourse.
We believe in experimentation!
We believe that questioning, reading, and talking lead to action. We believe in experimenting with the new ideas and philosophies that inspire us. We believe that connecting speech and deed is essential for a coherent philosophy of life.
We believe in the self-directed life!
We believe that being human involves not only questioning and deliberating in conversation. It also involves intentional choice. We believe that deciding on a future path, putting it into practice, and, thus, activating our capacity for freedom is a key component of our humanity.
