What we're about

May all be happy!

Everyone wants to be happy. Philosophy's sole aim and motivation is to make happiness available to everyone.

Philosophy for all. - Anybody can access the benefits of philosophy. Everybody can have that access through the explorations that are Philosophy in the Park and Orchard.

Socrates implied that an examined life is a life worth living so we explore all aspects of life from many different angles. Many of them arising from questions from members' everyday lives, problems and sources of happiness.

Wise actions - knowing the most harmonious thing to do
Wise thoughts - being properly in charge of your thoughts so they are harmonious thoughts
Wise feelings - feeling good, content, self-confident and bright
Wise living - living well and in harmony with others

Philosophy is the love of wisdom.
