The workshops include of a prior presentation of the topic by myself on YouTube that you need to watch. The meeting itself consists of a brief review of the topic followed by questions and discussion. The weekly topic is posted a week before the event, together with a suggested reading from my work The Pursuit of Value, available through Amazon Books or myself. Transcripts of the Youtube presentation are available by email.

THIS WEEK: Philosophy is a constantly changing discipline that relinquishes subject matter to other disciplines when they can be coherently formulated, thereby leaving philosophy to wrestle with more abstruse matters. These include issues of human existence like ‘free will’, personal identity, ethics, meaning, purpose, consciousness and value. But not only have none of these issues been resolved, but the uncanny nature of human existence has hardly been discussed. Is it possible to go beyond phenomenology, existentialism and postmodernism to explain this enigma? I believe that it is, and that is what I am doing here, in my writing and podcasts.
