Local Philosophy Groups

'Supported by The Royal Institute of Philosophy and based in Barnes, London SW13, UK. Any subject is open for discussion: aesthetics, ethics, ancient Greek philosophy, modern continental philosophy, political and social philosophy, philosophy of music, or even in asking "what is philosophy?" or indeed "what is the point of philosophy?".'

'Since the mid 1980’s Gloucestershire Philosophical Society have held meetings on a variety of topics.

Our meetings are open to both the academic and wider community. We warmly welcome new members, so why not come along and offer your opinions.'
