Philosophy and Ideas

Status:Active, open to new members
Leader:
When: On Friday mornings 10:00 am-12:00 pm
Weeks 1 & 3
Venue: Porthcawl YMCA

Led by Andrew Collier, the group meets on second and fourth Fridays in the month at 10 a.m. at the YMCA.
Anyone put off by the title, and even by the topics, will soon learn that we are a large, diverse group, discussing a range of 'big issues' and names, bringing grand ideas down to earth, digging deep themes up to the surface and never quite putting the world to rights. We will keep trying - and enjoying the process and comradeship.

31st Oct

14th Nov

28th Nov

We will probably look at what and how we know things
today (epistemology), but other possibilities include
international affairs, and Female philosophers

Open discussions, not as forbidding as they sound.    All welcome to join in.
