Philosophy
Breakfast “Most
people think philosophically”, says eminent local philosopher, “all
you need is a good breakfast and good company…” Are
you prepared to believe six impossible things before breakfast? Then you
will certainly enjoy the forthcoming Philosophy
Breakfasts at the Wivenhoe Bookshop. They
will take place over ten weeks throughout the summer on Saturday mornings
in the Bookshop
shed (or garden if the weather’s good!)
Croissants
and coffee
will be served to help awaken the little grey cells. Philosophy
seeks to identify and examine the fundamental assumptions underpinning
science, religion, politics, psychology…yet it need not be intimidating,
and might even be fun. Get
in touch with your critical faculties Each
session will tackle a particular area, eg what makes an act right or
wrong? Can wars or acts of terrorism be justified? What should be central,
human rights or human duties? Taster
