Activities

With Phil 1 you can choose how you wish to engage with the world of philosophy.

We offer the following opportunities for Individuals or Groups:

You may have a whole family interest that would like to engage in discussing philosophical issues. Imagine sitting down as a family unit for an hour or longer sharing in the unravelling and debate of an philosophical issue.
Phil 1 enables this.

 

You might meet up with some like-minded (preferably not!) mates in the internet café, pub or bistro for a discussion which moves away from the common socially safe areas of family, holidays and the next motor!
Phil 1 can give you the topics and guidelines to open and progress your discussion.

 

As an individual you want to feel confident in forming your own opinions and be able to inform your democratic right to free speech.
Phil 1 provides background arguments to inform your own decision making.

 

Your workplace, from the CEO to the CO (cleaning operative) you all have voice and a vested interest in your workplace becoming energised and successful. What can creative and critical thinking do for you as an individual or member of a group in your workplace, from staff canteens to the Board room.
Phil 1 breeds confidence and creativity.

 

A renowned philosopher was held in high regard by his driver, who listened in awe at every speech while his boss would easily answer questions about morality and ethics. Then one day the driver approached the philosopher and asked if he was willing to switch roles for the evening's lecture. The philosopher agreed and, for a while, the driver handled himself remarkably well. When it came time for questions from the guests, a woman in the back asked, "Is the epistemological view of the universe still valid in an existentialist world?" "That is an extremely simple question," he responded. "So simple, in fact, that even my driver could answer that, which is exactly what he will do."
