London Philosophy Collective Symposium / The Paradox of Fiction

An open participation philosophical discussion. No previous philosophical experience necessary

Please follow the stated guidelines
This is a Philosophical Discussion hosted by Joel Janiurek.

We shall be discussing The Paradox of Fiction.

This event is open to all. No previous philosophical experience necessary.

The aim is to have fun, meet new people, generate interesting and thought-provoking conversations, have your horizons expanded, challenge your preconceptions and who knows - you might even learn something?

Philosophy is about conceptual analysis. It's thinking about thinking. It's not about empiricism or the real world. It's about abstractions, concepts and ideas.

In order to make the conversations as fun, interesting and productive for everyone as possible please follow these simple guidelines:

1. Keep it Philosophical (No Science, no History, no Sociology, no Evolutionary Psychology, no contestable facts, no personal anecdotes).
2. Think for Yourself (No phones, no looking up definitions, no name dropping Philosophers / books you've read).
3. Tangents are Cool (Don't worry too much if the subject drifts and you don't answer the question).
4. Keep it Succinct (Like this).
5. Be Excellent to Each Other (But of course).

We hope to see you there
