Philosophy Discussion

The format is informal, friendly and led by the group. There is a particular focus each month, which might be a philosophical concept, a philosopher, or a topical talking point, and the topic is published in advance. Sometimes the group leader facilitates and sometimes members volunteer, though there is no requirement to. There are lively views, experience, insights and many laughs, and no conclusions, only more questions. Philosophy here is about examining and questioning how people think about the world and the human condition, and the group treats it as an activity to be enjoyed together rather than a body of facts to be learned. It meets in Carlisle.
