I have been hosting a monthly forum since March 2020 on a pressing moral issue. It’s on the first Thursday of each month. Here’s the May forum.  It will be on Thursday, May 5th, from 7-9pm on zoom at:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/896985586

“Is the American version of Western Civilization an advance over the culture of its native inhabitants? Or is it not? Why?”

In recent years there has been increasing attention paid to the damage inflicted upon the indigenous population by the European occupation and settlement of the “New World.” Many organization have even taken to making land acknowledgements to the tribes whose land is now being occupied. Others have talked of reparations for damages inflicted. How are we to understand this process? What sense can we make of it? And is there any sense in which this can be seen as progress?     

Join us in discussing this pressing social issue, in a discussion led by Dr. David Sprintzen, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Long Island University

This is the May installment of “Ethical Issues in OurTimes”: a product of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island. 

Thursday, May 5th, from 7-9pm on zoom at:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/896985586
