Adler's Sense of the Supersensible - join us as we delve into Ethical Culture founder Felix Adler’s curious metaphysics. Adler emphatically rejected supernaturalism, and he parted ways with the transcendentalism of Emerson and the Free Religion Association of which he was once president. Yet he never embraced the philosophic naturalism that characterizes Ethical Culture today. Instead he clung tenaciously to his unique construct of the trans-empirical realities of a “supersensible” realm he struggled throughout his later life to clarify and communicate.
