Does Philosophy Struggle with Common Sense?

Details

Details to follow.

Anyone can attend this session. No experience in philosophy or knowledge of the subject is required in advance. Just come along and enjoy. Our events use the the 4Cs of community philosophy:

  • Caring for others, making space for their contributions
  • Collaborating to get a better mutual understanding rather than scoring points
  • Critically assessing what we say, clarifying what is meant and asking what reasons support assertions
  • Creatively coming up with alternative perspectives, rather than dogmatically sticking to our initial positions

We welcome everyone of a wide range of ages, social and educational backgrounds etc. Don't worry if you don't have a qualification in philosophy - almost no-one does. Occasionally, attendees will be asked to watch, read or listen to a short piece of material in advance of the session (as the 'stimulus' for discussion), but this will be minimal and will be made clear in the description of the session.
