KANT'S CAVE: "Social complexity, prediction and free will" (Philip Ball)
On the first Wednesday of every month the PFA meets at "Kant’s Cave" for a lecture, debate and social evening, normally in the upstairs bar of the Exmouth Arms at 1 Starcross Street, London NW1 2HR. The Exmouth Arms is in a quiet residential street about five minutes walk from Warren Street, Euston and Euston Square stations.
The idea of using the function room of a pub for our philosophy meetings is that we would like to combine serious philosophical activity with an informal exchange of ideas and views. We therefore invite everybody to stay on after the lectures for more talk and debate. All lectures start at 7.30 pm; the bar is open from 7.00. There is a £2 door charge for non-PFA members.

Ellen WatersGreat lecture, great speaker, so much to explore in so little time. I look forward to more.

Fred CaiBrilliant talk by Phil, very interesting questions raised and had great discussions afterwards with some of the people on all sorts of fascinating topics! Would have also liked to join for the meal, maybe next time. Would definitely go to the next talk. Great stuff.
-
Neil Robert WilliamsQuite an interesting talk, but the numbers and format (one question and response) limited the scope for real probing/debate
, which depended on those who stayed behind subsequently.

I joined this group just now but it's put me down as attending on Wednesday 1st, which I'm not ... yeah, it was probably my incompetence rather than Meetup's software but there you go. Looking forward to attending a debate soon.
