SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Matt Segall
DESCRIPTION:Topic: The Cosmological Context of the Origin of Life \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Matt Segall & Bruce Damer \n\n\n\nWhat is life? How did it originate? Scientific study of the origins of life bumps up against the need for new paradigms of relating what we can learn from typical scientific method\, to what we can learn from philosophical reflection in search of new paradigms. Process philosopher Matt Segall (chair of the Cobb Institute Science Advisory Team) and origin of life scientist Bruce Damer have co-written a paper that will be presented later this spring at a conference sponsored by the Center for Process Studies. Matt and Bruce will lead our exploration of their paper titled\, “The Cosmological Context of the Origin of Life: Process Philosophy and the Hot Spring Hypothesis.” Did life emerge in a hot spring? Segall and Damer dynamically integrate the metaphysical and the empirical aspects of this research exploration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email. To find out about a single meeting\, send an email to events@cobb.institute.

SUMMARY:Tim Eastman Unties the Gordian Knot: Wrap Up
DESCRIPTION:In this series of conversations Tim Eastman will engage with other scholars about his new book\, Untying the Gordian Knot: Process\, Reality\, and Context. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Untying the Gordian Knot: Process\, Reality\, and Context\, Timothy E. Eastman proposes a new creative synthesis\, the Logoi framework-which is radically inclusive and incorporates both actuality and potentiality-to show how the fundamental notions of process\, logic\, and relations\, woven with triads of input-output-context and quantum logical distinctions\, can resolve a baker’s dozen of age-old philosophic problems. \n\n\n\nPurchase from\n\n\n\n\nAmazon\n\n\n\nBookshop.org\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP to receive Zoom meeting information.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Lynn De Jonghe
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Raise Thriving Children in Turbulent Times: Start with Whitehead \n\n\n\nPresenter: Lynn De Jonghe \n\n\n\nDr.  Lynn De Jonghe’s 40-years of experience with progressive education and a long-time fascination with Whitehead and process thought have come together in a book to be published this spring by Rowan and Littlefield\, Starting with Whitehead: Raising Children to Thrive in Turbulent Times. This book offers examples of learning events at each stage of Whitehead’s rhythm of education—from romance to precision to generalization—that point the way for adults to help children thrive in a world of turbulent change. These events are presented in the richness of their unfolding context\, rather than as dry results of manipulating controlled variables. Dr. De Jonghe sets these exemplary events in a vigorous theoretical foundation and proposes specific strategies for success. Her recommendations have relevance not only for parents but also for teachers\, principals\, and educational policy makers.  \n\n\n\nLynn received her BA degree in History from Harvard University and a MS in Library Science from Simmons College before completing her PhD in Education at Cornell University.  She served as the founding Head of East Bay Sierra School\, a predecessor of Prospect Sierra School\, El Cerrito\, one of the preeminent schools in the San Francisco Bay Area.  She also served as Middle School Head of the Athenian School in Danville and Head of Windrush School in El Cerrito\, CA. Prior to her work in independent schools\, Lynn spent fifteen years in public education administering federal funds to innovative programs\, advocating for project learning as an alternative to textbooks\, and pushing for integration in Massachusetts schools.  \n\n\n\nLynn is a frequent participant in John Cobb & Friends discussions. A few members of our educational development team have previewed her presentation and heartily recommend that it be shared with the rest of us! Download a brief intro to Lynn and her presentation here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Cliff Cobb
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Restore Historical Consciousness \n\n\n\nPresenter: Cliff Cobb \n\n\n\nJohn Cobb’s son\, Clifford W. Cobb\, is editor-in-chief of American Journal of Economics and Sociology.  [He is also the son whose questioning in the summer of 1969 set John Cobb on the path summarized in his classic\, Is It Too Late? A Theology of Ecology (Fortress Press\, 2021 edition of editions published in 1972 and 1995)].  At the turn of the secular year\, Cliff will share John’s thoughts on the importance of “historical consciousness.” The concept has been important in many of John Cobb’s writings\, including in Living Options in Protestant Theology (Westminster\, 1962)\, A Christian Natural Theology (Westminster\, 1965; Westminster John Knox\, 2007); Christ in a Pluralistic Age (Westminster\, 1975); and most recently in a chapter bemoaning “The Fading of Historical Consciousness” in Salvation: Jesus’s Mission and Ours (Process Century Press\, 2020).  An article is being developed to explain what John Cobb means by the “Origins and Characteristics” of Historical Consciousness\, in which it is compared and contrasted to Scientific Rationalism.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering - Callid Keefe-Perry
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Engaging the Optative: Misplaced Concreteness\, Changing the Future\, and the Power of Imagination \n\n\n\nPresenter: Callid Keefe-Perry \n\n\n\nDr. Callid (rhymes with “salad”) Keefe-Perry is Assistant Professor of Contextual Education and Public Theology at Boston College’s School for Theology and Ministry. His teaching and research orbit around explorations of imagination\, spirituality\, and education as sites of individual and social formation. Before Keefe-Perry’s career in the academy\, he was a public school teacher and worked in leadership for several arts-based non-profits. He was the primary architect of the 2017 merger that became ARC: Arts | Religion | Culture. His first book\, Way to Water: A Theopoetics Primer\, details the academic history of the field of theopoetics\, arguing for its utility in contemporary Christian congregational life. Currently he serves as the assistant director of the Religion and Education Collaborative and is the Senior Editor for the Journal of the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies (ARTS). Confessionally\, Keefe-Perry’s outlook is greatly shaped by The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)\, especially streams of that tradition emphasizing Christocentric mysticism.

SUMMARY:Teilhard de Chardin Learning Circle
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Dr. Ernie Tamminga\, this discussion group will evaluate how (and whether) Teilhard de Chardin’s hope-filled perspective on the human evolutionary future can still inspire us in a time full of conflicts and division. We begin with a facilitated study of his masterwork\, The Human Phenomenon. (Its title was originally translated into English as The Phenomenon of Man\, back when it was common to refer to humanity as “Man.” That has been corrected in more recent editions of the book.) \n\n\n\nWhat is a learning circle?\n\n\n\nLearning circles are small groups that share a common interest in a topic\, text\, or activity. In a mode that is informal and conversational\, they are typically made up of five to fifteen people who gather together to learn from one another. A learning circle might be a book study group that only explores a single text\, or an affinity group that meets for an indefinite period of time. \n\n\n\n\nFind Out More
