| Details | | The word philosophy means love of wisdom.
One definition is: ‘Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.’
You will find many attempts to offer succinct definitions about a subject that touches all areas of knowledge. Knowledge does not stand still. So, as what we know changes then, appropriately, our enlightened reasoning about any related matter should also be up for review. We can often see cultural influences and personal experiences reflected in the works of philosophers, past and present.
In a philosophical discussion, we need to weigh arguments, considering the evidence, the logic and reasonableness on all sides of the issue. We should try to use reason and not rely on feelings to support a thread of thoughts.
The Philosophy Group takes a broad approach to learning about and discussing the subject in an open and friendly atmosphere. All are free to share their thoughts.
We meet on the last Friday of the month, 2:15 - 4:00 pm. If you are interested to join us or would like to learn more about the group, please contact the group coordinator for further information. |
