What we're about

If you're new to the area or are looking to expand your social circle with like minded people who enjoy thinking about life a little more deeply, then this is the group for you.

Each week we'll choose a topic based on philosophy, psychology or sociology, to informally discuss and debate in a central Cambridge location (in summer- by the river, or in winter in a coffee shop or pub).

Example areas to discuss include:

How we construct our identity, consumerism, time, the meaning of life, how society forces us to conform and 'fit in'

Theatre philosophy: As You Like It

Needs a location

https://cambridgeshakespeare.com/programme/as-you-like-it/

As we have some feedback on choosing a more light comedy for summer, we are going for a Shakespeare. As You Like It seems funny with several philosophical discussions that can be extracted, including hedonism, pessimism, and nature of life/love.

I have put down a tentative date but open to amend it depending on those interested. If you’d prefer a different date, please reply in the comments section. Will finalise the date in early July.
