This month's reading: Philip Goff's "Why? The Purpose of the Universe"
-
For links to online versions of the texts, reading guides, and other resources, please view the shared Google site
In our reading for this month, Philip Goff, author of the book Why? The Purpose of the Universe, argues for a middle ground between atheism and theism regarding purpose in the universe. Goff believes that theists (believers in God) are right that the universe is purposely tuned for life to exist, but atheists (who deny that God exists) are right that there is too much unnecessary suffering for classical ideas of God to be correct. Instead, Goff thinks that we should find the middle ground between atheism and theism: panpsychism.
(Event limited to 24 participants) You will receive the Zoom information for the meeting after registration. Please email the facilitator if you can't find the Zoom info; they'll get back to you right away.
