About us
This group is for people with some background in philosophy who want to explore new ideas about human existence that focus on the concepts of consciousness and value as key to resolving the enigma of life. Yet everyone is welcome, interested inquirers, avid readers, outliers, undergraduates and professors of philosophy alike.

THIS WEEK: In attempting to pose, and answer, ‘the question of human existence’, these workshops have focused on the two common phenomena of consciousness and value, which have been neglected in both academic and conventional circles. But consciousness has been presented here as an explanatory and ‘integrative concept’, and value has been argued to be a key qualification. And in order to demonstrate its indispensability, we must now locate ‘value’ in a context of contrasts and comparisons with other states in a proposed exhaustive classification of the four mental states of cognition, affect, will and value.
