SUMMARY:Interfaith Explorations Summer 2022: Spirit and the Movies II
DESCRIPTION:After the overwhelming success of our Spring 2022 session of ‘Spirit and the Movies’\, we have decided to continue our exploration of film and spirituality. After we see a film (a movie\, a documentary\, a super bowl advertisement) we are inwardly moved. We wonder to ourselves: How did it inspire me? Challenge me? Move me? What did I learn from it? What questions does it raise for me? It is especially meaningful if we can discuss this with others – we grow through this discussion. In this eight-week session\, we will make use of films and their reviews as springboards for our own soulful reflections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister at the Interfaith Center

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: The Kyoto School: a Buddhist Contribution to Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Jared Morningstar\n\n\n\nJoin a sophisticated discussion of the Kyoto School of philosophy and how these cosmopolitan Buddhist thinkers offer resources for building ecological civilization. \n\n\n\nFrom The Kyoto School: True Emptiness\, Wondrous Being website: \n\n\n\n“The Kyoto School was founded by Nishida Kitaro at the beginning of the 20th century\, and now covers three generations of philosophers who have endeavoured to express the insights of the East in the philosophical language of the West. As they did so\, however\, they have in fact created a new kind of philosophy\, a radically new way of thinking from the standpoint of emptiness – and empathy – which goes beyond the limited scope of traditional Western philosophy\, which is the standpoint of being – and that of the self-centred calculative mind\, cut off from a true experience of reality. Their insights will be of interest to those interested in current research about the nature of consciousness and cognition\, as well as those concerned by the inadequacy of the prevalent Western mode of thinking in tackling social\, political\, economic and environmental issues.” \n\n\n\nThe Kyoto School and its representatives offer a unique dialogue with traditions of Process thought\, as both maintain a skepticism of the dominant substance ontology of much of mainline Western thinking. In his forward to Nishitani’s masterpiece\, Religion and Nothingness\, scholar Winston L. King writes that  \n\n\n\n“One other possibility remains [for dialogue between the Kyoto School and Western thought] in the field of American philosophy\, and one that has been slightly explored already. To this writer it seems to have the greatest potential for sustaining a full philosophical-religious contact between Buddhist East and Christian West of any thought pattern in America. This is the so-called process philosophy which had its roots in the thought of A. N. Whitehead\, especially in his seminal Process and Reality” (Winston L. King\, “Foreward” in Religion and Nothingness by Keiji Nishitani\, Nanzan Studies in Religion and Culture. Berkeley: University of California Press\, 1983\, xxi). \n\n\n\nThis pop-up will examine the specific resources provided by these philosophers of emptiness for collaborating in the project of ecological civilization. \n\n\n\nThis pop-up will be hosted on Zoom by Jared Morningstar. The session will last approximately one hour. Resources pertaining to the topic are linked below as springboards for discussion. Feel free to explore these resources to whatever extent interests you prior to the pop-up. \n\n\n\nResources: \n\n\n\nScience and Technology: Nature Denaturalised and Humans DehumanisedWatsuji’s Idea of the Self and the Problem of Spatial Distance in Environmental EthicsReligion and Science in Nishitani KeijiThe Kyoto School Philosophy on Place: Nishida and Ueda
