If you are looking for an academic debating society, this Philosophy Group is not for you! Members are expected to have an interest in current moral and ethical issues, for example, rather than detailed knowledge of classical philosophy.

At each month's meeting a topic is introduced by an individual member. Typically, this takes the form of a briefing paper, which has been circulated ahead of the meeting, and is then the subject of a chaired discussion.

It is hoped, therefore, that at some point, each member will contribute to the Group's activities in this way.

Some of the themes presented this year include: Pacifism, Euthanasia, The Rule of Law, Reading Books, Heroism, Should Philosophy Be Taught in Schools?, Drug Use or Abuse, Truth, Are We a Cult? The range is eclectic!
