About us
The NPS is a registered charity welcoming everyone with an interest in philosophy, especially novices. It aims to promote philosophy education to the local public with meetings in pubs, cafes, and community centres.
There are various group leaders spanning very different approaches but all aim for interaction, sharing, and dialogue in a spirit of mature enquiry rather than debate. For one thing that philosophy tells us is that right answers are hard to find.

Echoes of the Ancients (reading group)
Newcastle upon Tyne, GBCome Think With Us
Join a relaxed, friendly group for curious conversation and shared thinking - no lectures, exams, or pressure. Some people bring a short reading or a few thoughts; others just listen and join in when they feel like it. No background knowledge needed.
We take our time with ideas, enjoy conversation, and keep things informal and good-natured. Philosophy is better in good company.
Each meeting usually starts with a short reading and quick introductions, so it’s easy to feel at home. You’re always welcome to take part as much or as little as you like, and many people are happy just listening at first.
This week we explore - The Ultimate End of Human Life
ST.I-II.Q3.A8 – "Whether Man’s Happiness Consists in the Vision of the Divine Essence?"These events are FREE. If this sounds like your sort of thing, you’d be very welcome to come along.
