Mudita Forum Is Now Active Again
After many months of inactivity, we’ve resurrected Mudita Forum. Thomas Gramstad has been kind enough to volunteer to moderate.
From the list’s description:
Mudita Forum is a moderated discussion group for individuals with an interest both in Ayn Rand’s ideas (such as her philosophy of Objectivism) and in the consciousness-raising practices associated with Eastern thinking.
Purpose
The purpose of Mudita Forum is to provide a stimulating, thoughtful environment for discussing Eastern consciousness-raising practices—such as meditation, mindfulness, and the cultivation of presence—while using Objectivism as a basic philosophical frame-of-reference.
Who Should Subscribe
If you are interested in Objectivism and in Eastern ideas, we’d love to have you to join us. Many of our members have experience with meditation, and are interested in exploring its value in the context of a rational philosophy.
We’re here to explore promising, uncharted territory in the path to personal growth, in a spirit of open inquiry. If you are motivated to expose the irrationality of Buddhism or other Eastern ideas, please don’t subscribe. Although we might agree with some of your criticisms, the “debunking” mindset is not consistent with the spirit of this list.
If this sounds interesting to you, then by all means, please join us!
