Study Group Information

History

We meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday mornings of each month from 9.45am to 12.30pm in Northcote.

Current topic: The foundations of Western Civilisation from approximately 3000 B.C.to AD 1600.

Western civilization has always accorded a prominent place to religion, religious institutions, and leaders. We will focus on Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Each produced a sacred book and vast commentaries on these books.

Western civilization produced art, architecture, and music that are part of our living traditions. Religion may be its primary source, but never exclusively.

We will probe the philosophical traditions of the West as it has asked how people should live.
