Accountability. Not merely as a slogan, but as a philosophical idea.
Sam will speak about accountability.
Not merely as a slogan, and not merely as an administrative term,
but as a philosophical idea.
More than that, he wants to place accountability within a larger moral sequence.
That sequence is this:
Values.
Ethics.
Morals.
Integrity.
Consequences.
Accountability.
Remorse.
Redemption.
Sam Alexander has been the convenor of Philo Agora for the past 25 years. He holds degrees in Divinity and Theology fro, the University of Sydne.
On the second Monday of the month, Philo Agora has a speaker on a philosophical topic and a Q&A and discussion after. 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.
