What we’re about
May all be happy!
Everyone wants to be happy. Philosophy's sole aim and motivation is to make happiness available to everyone.
Philosophy for all. - Anybody can access the benefits of philosophy. Everybody can have that access through the explorations that are Philosophy in the Park and Orchard.
Socrates implied that an examined life is a life worth living so we explore all aspects of life from many different angles. Many of them arising from questions from members' everyday lives, problems and sources of happiness.
Meeting together for discussions on various philosophical topics at the Willow tearoom in Central Park Peterborough, The Orchard Grantchester and other places.
First Saturday of each month at 10am in the park (except January when it varies). And the Orchard usually on the second Saturday.
All are welcome

See all- Why is society so cruel and divisive, while being proud of how far it has come?Bowls pavilion central Park, Peterborough
Why is modern “progressive” society so cruel and divisive, while patting itself on the back for how far it has supposedly come?
Yes why?
In some ways this is a time of freedom from institutional biases and prejudices and one's ability to openly be oneself.
So why are there undercurrents of hate speech, the othering of a "smug liberal elite", misogyny, weaponising of religion and other characteristics contrary to this "progress"?
How can philosophy relate to this problem?
Is it a new problem?
If not, how has it worked out in the past?
Is there a solution and what, if anything, can we individually do about it?
