**Book of the Month**

During our last chapter, we delved deep into questioning romanticism and the antics of love as a philosophy to ground the ethics of romantic partnership.

As we followed Rabih and Kristen’s journey in *The Course of Love*, what seemed “intuitive” suddenly became much more complicated and nuanced. At times, we may have questioned what the morally right behavior was as we observed the couple. Is lying justified if it protects our partner feeling? Can we love one person and desire another? What are morally permissible arrangements between two lovers?

This journey lead us to question the nature of morality and ethics themselves—what is objectively right (if such a thing exists)? Whether in simple everyday encounters or life-altering decisions, we are constantly grappling with our moral tenets.

We therefore explore this very profound topic in **Justice - what’s the right thing to do? by Michael Sandel**, which challenges us to think deeply about fairness, rights, and the ethical dilemmas that shape our world. From debates on wealth inequality to personal freedom, Sandel invites us to question the principles that govern our lives and societies.

This book originates from Sandel’s renowned Harvard course on moral and political philosophy, one of the most popular university lectures of all time, reaching millions worldwide, which you can also watch/listen online [://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBdfcR-8hEY&t=1860s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBdfcR-8hEY&t=1860s)

**About Us**

Welcome to "Curious Collective" – A Non-Fiction Book Club for Curious Minds.

If you find yourself here, chance is, you are curious. You are a wanderer, an explorer of ideas, seeking the 'whys' and 'hows' of our world, of what makes us human.

In a culture dominated by “hyper-connectivity”, we often lose sight of what truly matters; the treasure of ancient wisdom, the beauty of curiosity, and the profound meaning of community.

The Curious Collective is here to rekindle those flames. 🔥

We believe in the power of shared ideas, meaningful conversations, and sharing the journey.

As Joseph Addison wisely said, "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." Our collective mission is to exercise our minds, curiosity, and sense of belonging to a community of like-minded people.

**We are not:** Intellectual W\*nkers. We keep it real, there is no intellectual snobbery here.

**We are:** Ordinary humans, who crave knowledge, connection, someone to chat about cool ideas and share the journey with.

**Tips:**
I suggest having a notebook/ a place where you can take notes of the most interesting parts & thoughts you had - this is going to be very helpful for the discussion.

Stay Curious – for there's always more to discover.
