Philosophy in the Library

Next date: Saturday, 04 May 2024 | 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM

Why do we have morality, ethics? Why do we bother being good and doing the right thing? Why- conversely- are things called evil, bad or wrong?

Join the philosophers of Bacchus Marsh as we delve into the origins and foundations of both the light side and the dark side, this Saturday May the fourth (be with you).

Please note: This is not a lecture! This is a group discussion, facilitated by an experienced philosophy facilitator.

About the facilitator:
Andy started loving and studying philosophy 25 years ago. He's been lucky enough to have been teaching it for 10 years and facilitating public philosophy sessions (his greatest joy now) for over five years. He loves hearing all the wonderful, amazing and weird ideas that come from sessions like this and seeing the beautifully respectful ways that people communicate their deepest thoughts in public.

What to expect at this session:
In this session you'll do a quick conversational warm-up. Your facilitator will introduce you to a few basic ground rules and then you'll discuss your ideas, questions and disagreements with the group. In the last 10 minutes, you'll be asked to sum-up your biggest takeaway or highlight from the session (and normally, we'd pick a question for the next session). Andy will record ideas, ask for clarification if needed and keep the discussion on-track (it's not a lecture!).

This is an adult 18+ program. Bookings not required.
