If there's one word that defines what the
Fellowship of Reason is all about, it is "eudaimonism."
Pronounced "yoo-DIE-mon-ism", it is derived from the Greek word eudaimonia,
which is loosely translated into English as “well-being." Although you can find a variety of specific definitions (depending on which dictionary you use), we like this one: "A
theory that the highest ethical goal is happiness and personal
well-being." Some dictionaries include the phrase "through a life governed by reason" or something similar. In short, Eudaimonists are people who think that they should make flourishing in this life, through rationality and virtue, their highest priority. |
