Meetup #2: What is Philosophy?

After the unexpected success that was the first meetup where 13 people RSVP'd and 8 actually turned up, let's think now about the second.

This time around, we'll have a format around the meetup. It will be divided in to three sections. History, Mystery and Present (yep, if you caught it, KungFu Panda reference, while accepting that the saying predates the movie by quite a few years)

History: We pick up an idea or a philosopher, a combined study, mostly for the benefit of those of us who don't have any formal training in philosophy and a refresher for those who do. This time we'll pick the obvious starting point. "What is Philosophy?"

Present: The philosophy of the day. Members who turn up, you're welcome to pitch your ideas, tell us about your philosophies of life. There will be no judging. Think of this as a community sounding board for your thoughts.

Mystery: As far as I am concerned, this is the more important section of the meetup. We all know how we are, who we are by ourselves. Time to find out how we are as a group. Basically talk about anything and everything under the sky. Become a group of Friends rather than a group of Thinkers, over time.

So, that's about it. And yeah, those who come, be nice to the other members. Rudeness does not translate as Cool.

And the location is still up for grabs. Do respond to that when giving your RSVPs. Else, the default is somewhere in CP.
