The Philosophy Group meet on a Monday afternoon normally twice a month. This is from 2 pm to 4 pm at the Free Church Hall, Chapel Hill.

Tea and biscuits are provided for members. We are looking at the following philosophers over the next three months.

a) Gayatri Spivak

b) Gu Su

c) Anartya Sen

d) Lao Tzu

e) Byang-Chul Han

These are all philosophers from the East, either Chinese or Indian. We thought we would like a difference from a UK/US perspective.

What is Philosophy?

The essence of philosophy is the study and development of fundamental ideas and methods that are not adequately addressed in specialized disciplines, such as physics or history. As such, philosophy provides the foundations upon which all belief structures and fields of knowledge are built. It is responsible for the definitions of, and the approaches used to develop the theories of, such diverse fields as religion, language, science, law, psychology, mathematics, and politics.
