Rationality and Rewards

This Week's Lecture

In this lecture we'll examine benefits to beliefless spirituality. We'll look at which benefits it has in common with belief-based spirituality, and how the degree to which those benefits is experienced may differ. We will also look at unique benefits of beliefless spirituality. We'll read about empirical attempts to identify and measure these benefits.

(I will provide feedback on your drafts after the presentations, and before your final drafts are due.)
