Our meeting on 17 May will be a discussion evening. We’ll be watching the Humanists UK Zoom session ‘On the nature of morality’ and following this with our own discussion of the issues raised.

Please note the earlier start time for this meeting.

Whether directly or obliquely, the foundation and nature of morality have been a source of ceaseless debate by philosophers, scientists, and the general public for millennia – and to this day.

Is it wrong to kill? Is it wrong to steal? Is violence ever the answer? To each of the answers, and to myriad others, we can ask a follow-up: why?

Dr Oliver Scott Curry, Professor Nichola Raihani and Professor Richard Norman will be talking about the basis of morality and what the variations in moral codes between different societies mean for our understanding of morality.

Do join us for this expansive discussion of some of the questions most fundamental to what it means to be human.
