Sovereign Citizen an Existential Hero or Born Loser? A talk by Sam Alexander.

Sovereign Citizen an Existential Hero or Born Loser?

With the current news concerning the recent killings of two police officers by a self proclaimed "Sovereign Citizen", Sam Alexander, with links to the movement explores the ambiguity of the term, which in many respects is contradictory.

He looks at the beliefs of the movement, the early history and parallels in philosophical literature.

Sam Alexander, convenor of Philo Agora for 25 years, bohemian in nature and appearance holds theological degrees.

On the second Monday of the month, Philo Agora has a speaker on a philosophical topic and a Q&A and discussion afterwards. On the fourth Monday we meet again for open philosophical discussion.

Philo Agora's format is a talk for 20 minutes starting at 7:15 for 7:30. The presenter then answers any questions of clarification from the floor. We then take a break of 5 minutes for more coffee and to mull over the talk and discuss it within small groups. The microphone is then passed around the audience for comment, opinion, and often counter argument to a maximum of 3 minutes. The presenter is then given a 5 minute right of reply.

We usually finish up at 9pm. The cover charge is $5 for the talk. There are tea and coffee facilities available in-house.
