Meetings on the second Tuesday of the month - 13th September, 11th October, 8th November, 13th December This is a small, friendly group - we fit around a couple of tables pulled together in the upstairs room. No previous knowledge of philosophy is assumed and new members are always welcome. Recently we have covered a different self-contained topic each month - e.g. Do we have freewill? What makes me the same person as I was when a child? In November I outlined some philosophical theories about the relationship between mind and body which we discussed, and we decided to continue this topic in December when I will outline for discussion some pros and cons of the idea that thoughts and feelings are just brain processes. I have suggested that we could look at this whole issue again in January but from a different angle. But that will be decided by the group at the end of the December meeting. Suggestions for new topics are always welcome. E.g. 'Human Rights' has been suggested, which could be one topic for next year.
