What we’re about
Philosophy Café is held on the first Sunday of every month from 2-4 pm (times may vary) at (venue as advertised), Brighton . Entry free (donations appreciated, either cash on the day, or via PayPal); pay for your own refreshments and join in with the discussion. The afternoon begins with a brief introduction to the theme. Discussion then follows between groups of those attending. Past experience suggests that the discussion will be animated! Finally, there will then be an opportunity to share thoughts and conclusions with everyone present. This is an opportunity to explore the subjects in a convivial setting including conversation, coffee and cake available from the café. PREVIOUS TOPICS: Creation - an act of love? What is the value of truth? What is reality? Is God real? What is the role of compassion in our lives today? What does it matter whether animals have a soul or not? Do we prefer materialism because it limits us?

It’s like a philosophy meeting, but instead of debating ONE specific, preset topic, we have about 250 topics, written on cards. And we have a token, which we pass around in turn to speak. Each participant choses a card at random. We read the first card, and then we speak in turn passing the token around. Then, we pick up and read the next card, and so on. This way everybody has an equal chance to speak.
Here are some examples of topics:
Dreams. A window to the soul, or the day’s junk recycled.
Has the meaning of family changed in modern times?
Legalisation of drugs, pros and cons.
What is the first thing you think about when you think about America?
What is your definition of freedom?
Who has the most power on the planet?
