Thumotic spirituality is a collection of ideas and practices related to thumos: spirit, that which makes alive.
As such it is spirit-centered, life-affirming, Western-rooted, and empirically-based.
It is spirit-focussed in that it is a collection of ideas and practices related to spirit.
It is life-affirming because it is focussed on spirit, that which makes alive.
It is Western-rooted because Ancient Greece, the source of thumos, is the foundation of Western culture.
It is empirically-based in that, like the Ancient Greek concept of thumos, it is based on observation and experimentation rather than metaphysical or religious beliefs.
