The group has been discussing issues in philosophy for over two years.
Some members have followed Bryan Magee’s excellent The Story of Philosophy. However, this book does not cover the most recent phase of the English language and European philosophy, so the newly constituted group is starting to explore these recent ideas and hoping to find a book that will help us with focus and detail. Our own ideas are always in view.

The philosophy groups focus on the turning points in Western Philosophy from its rise in Ancient Greece to the Present Day. We also work on the assumption that there are branches of philosophy and we try to think about these in turn. We have recently started to think about comparing Western and Eastern philosophy. We use a variety of books. One recent book we have used is: Life – A User’s Manual: Life Advice from the Great Philosophers, by Julian Baggini, Penguin, 2020. The current group text book is 50 Philosophy Classics, Tom Butler-Bowden, NB Publishing, 2022. Prospective members should buy this book.

This group for anyone interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Talks are given by our members, with the occasional ‘outside’ speaker, and so we encourage anyone in the group to offer a talk, you don’t have to be an expert to make a presentation. If a topic takes your fancy, and you are prepared to do some research, you will produce something we can all enjoy. Come along, learn more, make friends and have an interesting afternoon.
