Welcome

What is Biosophy?
In the endeavor to work with others on character improvement and spiritual self-education, Dr. Frederick Kettner developed “Biosophy”, Bios=Life and Sophia=Wisdom, based on the works of Spinoza.
Biosophy is the science and art of intelligent living based on the awareness and practice of spiritual values, ethical-social principles and character qualities essential to individual freedom and social harmony.
