Philosophy Club Meeting
Enduring Lessons from Antiquity: The Vedas
Please join Philosophy Club online Wednesday, April 28 from 1 p.m.-2 p.m. as longtime Club member Dr. Amala Guha presents Enduring Lessons from Antiquity: The Vedas.
The Vedas are the oldest sacred scriptures of India and the most ancient source of Hindu tradition. Stemming back to a much more ancient and long-enduring oral tradition, they represent as such probably the most ancient religious/spiritual body of thought on record. They maintain a vital place in Indian culture, and increasingly in world culture as a whole. Rife with philosophical content, the Vedas have since ancient times and up to the present day received much attention from scholars of many fields.

An ongoing weekly tradition at the University since 2001, the University of Hartford Philosophy Club is a place where students, professors, and people from the community at large meet as peers. Sometimes presentations are given, followed by discussion. Other times, topics are hashed out by the whole group.
Presenters may be students, professors, or people from the community. Anyone can offer to present a topic. The mode of presentation may be as formal or informal as the presenter chooses. Please be a part of us as we continue this great tradition online.
