What are the philosophy lecture meetings like?
The philosophy lectures typically last between 30 and 50 minutes and the talks are followed by an open question-and-answer period which generates lively discussion. Some participants meet before the philosophy talks for dinner and philosophy discussion. Some go out after the talks for continued philosophy discussion. The philosophy talks are designed to be engaging and non-technical and thus they are enjoyable by the layperson or academician alike – Philosophy made user friendly. Lecture topics may be anything philosophically-related such as politics and political philosophy, culture, society and anthropology, science, bioethics, history, history of ideas, religion, meaning, or even standard philosophical fare such as ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, political philosophy, aesthetics, logic, philosophy of mind, psychology, philosophy of language, cosmology, or ontology.
