What we do

This is a study-group for interested amateurs, or retired professionals. We have a round-table discussion on a topic chosen at a previous meeting. A Note with suggested points for discussion is circulated beforehand (by email or post), or given out at the start of the meeting.

Continuing our top-down examination of ethics (see the reports of the last two meetings, below), the topic for 11-Aug is “The Sources of Morality” and the topic for 08-Sep is “Everyday Ethics”. On 13-Oct we have a change of emphasis, with “The Philosophy of Science”.

The following books may be useful for newcomers to the subject:
