Ethos Roundtable

We are an informal group of people who are interested in 1) measuring and extending ethos, and 2) using technology for positive social change. We meet once a month in Harvard Square (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA) for discussions and presentations.

Thursday

Now online: MassNonprofitNet.Org

The eagerly anticipated web site for the Massachusetts association for nonprofits is now online at MassNonprofitNet.Org!

It is now possible to go online to join as a founding member of the network, to review the network's timeline for future action, or find out about the network's "common agenda."

What does "ethos" mean?

Short version: The spirit or core beliefs of a group of people.

Long version:
"In recent anthropological discussion, the moral (and aesthetic) aspects of a given culture, the evaluative elements, have commonly been summed up in the term "ethos," while the cognitive, existential aspects have been designated by the term "world view." A people's ethos is the tone, character, and quality of their life, its moral and aesthetic style and mood; it is the underlying attitude toward themselves and their world that life reflects." (
Clifford Geertz, "Ethos, World View, and the Analysis of Sacred Symbols")
