VENUE CHANGE TO MEADOWS Ursula Le Guin - The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas

NOTE VENUE CHANGE

With the good weather we're switching venue to the meadows. By the tennis courts (south side). We'll have a banner hung so look out for that!

Second of our short reads before we move to the orientation session for Kierkegaard's Works of Love next week.

The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas is a very short story with a devastating twist that poses an unavoidable moral question by Ursula Le Guin and can be found online here:

We will spend one session on this.

We usually head to the pub after our discussion.

Welcome to the Edinburgh Existentialist Philosophy Reading Group! We read existentialist texts together, meeting weekly to discuss them.

Everyone is welcome to attend. We meet in University of Edinburgh rooms, but we are a community group and not affiliated with the university; no academic background is necessary. Members have varying levels of prior involvement in philosophy, so even if this is your first read of a philosophical text, please come along!

We love to welcome newcomers, even if we're half way through a long read; don't feel you can't dive in at some point along the way.
