"The Atheist Spirituality of Andre Comte-Sponville"</span> with
Hugh Taft-Morales:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">In <i style="">The
Little Book of Atheist Spirituality</i>, French philosopher
Comte-Sponville reaches into Eastern philosophy to offer a form
of spirituality
that even an atheist could love. It is a spirituality devoid of
supernaturalism
but full of friendship and community. He embraces a rational
humanism that
avoids both nihilism and hostility towards religion. Hugh will
explore if such
a perspective is consistent with Ethical Culture.</span></p>
