“Confucianism and Ethical Culture” (zoom)

There are historical and philosophical connections between Confucianism and Ethical Culture. Both philosophies are rooted in the secular world, defying the presumption that religion must involve supernatural powers. And both emphasize the importance of personal virtues and responsible relationships as a way to build a positive, flourishing society. Indeed, Felix Adler, the founder of Ethical Culture, lectured about the most dominant worldview in China. Hugh Taft-Morales explores links between these nontheistic paths to living an ethical life.

Hugh Taft-Morales serves as Leader of the Philadelphia Ethical Society and the Baltimore Ethical Society and is a member of the Ethical Action Committee of the American Ethical Union (AEU).  Hugh taught philosophy and history for twenty-five years in Washington, D. C., after which he transitioned into Ethical Culture Leadership.  In April of 2009 he graduated from the Humanist Institute and was certified as an Ethical Culture Leader by the AEU in 2010.
