The New York Society for Ethical Culture is pleased to offer a new series Thursday nights at 7:30 on Zoom called ETHICS AT ETHICAL We will discuss the fundamental ways to understand ethics that can help us think through the process of decision-making. Among the approaches presented will be deontology, or a commitment to duty; utilitarianism, which involves measuring pleasure and pain; and virtue ethics, which describes the ethics of human flourishing and how to live a good life. We will relate ethical concepts to the foundations of Ethical Culture. Each session will provide a brief introduction and ample opportunity for discussion.
Arthur Dobrin will be offering a four part series beginning November 14th.This series is a guided reading of Arthur Dobrin‘s book The Lost Art of Happiness. Among the topics discussed will be the relation of happiness to ethics, the nature of social relations, the role of beauty and confronting the reality of death.

He holds a doctorate from Adelphi University and served as a professor of Humanities at Hofstra University where he taught applied ethics.
