London Philosophy Cafe - on Transcendence

What does it mean to go beyond ourselves? This event explores the idea of Transcendence: the human impulse to surpass limits, whether physical, moral, spiritual, or technological. From religious visions of rising toward the divine, to the promises and perils of transhumanism, to the everyday struggle to reach our own excellence, transcendence invites us to rethink what a human being can become. Through dialogue and reflection, we will examine how crossing boundaries shapes our identity, our freedom, and our future.

Venue:
We have reserved the Chicester Room in ther pub for us . Please ask for Philosophy cafe at the door and they will direct you .

We like to break into small groups and have a healthy discussion about life , philosophy and ideas .

We break out into groups of 6 to discuss three questions over 45min to 1 hour; and then spend another 45min feeding back into the main group. The three topics are chosen on the day by vote, and largely derived from suggestions on the day.

We welcome new ideas, so please come up with suggestions that you want to talk about, aligned with the event topic.

The official time is 7-9: 30 pm , but we usually go into a pub mode after 9:30 pm and continue our discusssions.
