Meet other local readers of Philosophy Now (a magazine for all those who have an interest in philosophy), or in general people intrigued by philosophy and its impact on our understanding of life, the universe and everything! The format is a dinner at a restaurant in the city, with a limited number of people to enjoy conversation and intellectual give and take. The idea is that good conversation requires small crowds, and is helped by good food and wine, just like in the original Symposium by Plato. No technical background in philosophy required, just a love of wisdom!
All,
Our next topic will be "Is psychology a science?," in which we will discuss the sociale "sciences" and what, exactly, makes a discipline scientific.
As usual, background reading is posted for your pleasure on our Files section at http://www.meetup.com...
should you wish to learn something on the topic ahead of the meetup. Read more
