If you enjoy discussing and arguing about important abstract ideas you might be interested in one of Dr Alan Collett's courses which he runs from time to time in Wivenhoe (previously at the Royal British Legion Hall on Wivenhoe Quay but now at the Wivenhoe Sailing Club, Walter Radcliffe Way). These are private courses, arising out of the closure of
Open Studies at the University of Essex. They are run by Dr Alan Collett, an
experienced philosophy lecturer, who has taught for several universities
and adult education departments and who now teaches for the Open
University. This series of courses has been running since 2006 and attracts an enthusiastic group of students
of all ages to study and debate in an informal atmosphere, under the
direction of the tutor. Each term a different course is offered. The courses are designed to be suitable for those with
no previous knowledge of philosophy. To benefit from the course a student
only needs to be interested in discussion with like-minded people. There
is no assessment. The Philosophy of Love, Sex and Marriage The ten week course starts on Tuesday 28th September 2010 from 10.00 – 12.30 at Wivenhoe Sailing Club and costs £75.
