Showing 4 of 4 Books, Writing & Ideas groups in Exeter
Hi everyone :) This month we are reading ‘Project Hail Mary’ by Andy Weir. A groundbreaking piece of science fiction, and one of my personal favourite books! We will also watch the film adaptation! We will have this meeting at Exeter Phoenix on Saturday 21st March. If you don’t finish the book, please feel free to come along to the meeting anyway :)
Welcome to this discussion group for the introspective and those that enjoy pondering the inponderables. We hope to plunder the depths of life's questions and pursue the elusive meaning of existence. If you enjoy delving into the profound aspects of human experience and engaging in thoughtful conversations that go beyond small talk, then this group could be right up your street (literally or metaphorically)! We are an informal, friendly gathering of individuals passionate about considering some of the head scratchers that have captivated thinkers throughout history. Whether you're a seasoned philosopher or simply someone with a curious mind and an open heart, you are most welcome to join our discussions. No prior knowledge of philosophical schools of thought or famous philosophers is required – all you need is a willingness to listen attentively and contribute respectfully to the conversation, be that with your own questions, or perhaps your own insights. Our meetups are held online, allowing us to connect with like-minded individuals from around the globe, should they be available and happy to listen to a primarily British accent. While the group was set up with a focus on the wonderful folk of Exeter, we encourage participants from all corners of the world to join us, as our virtual setting knows no geographical bounds. Who knows? You might even forge connections with fellow philosophy enthusiasts in your own local community! Currently the meetups will be in English only, but if enough demands are made, we can consider getting closed captions for attendees with other language requirements. So, if you're ready to embark on a journey of intellectual exploration and engage in stimulating, open-minded discussions, come and join us. We look forward to welcoming you, whether you're a regular participant or a first-time attendee. Each session is a unique experience, and we value the fresh perspectives and insights that every individual brings to the table. \-\-\- Wa
Enjoy getting a drink, sitting with open-minded people, and splitting into teams. We discuss three big questions within an hour surrounding different insightful topics. Then we re-group and discuss the ideas together. Topics change each session. Doesn’t require any previous knowledge of philosophy. Any and all people and opinions welcome. Official time is from 7pm-9pm but all are welcome to stay longer. Donations are appreciated! 📝 We encourage staying on topic but the 'playground' aspect of our group means exploratory conversation is common! Some topics may be more challenging or controversial than others, so come with an open mind, ready for diverse perspectives. Above all, we ask every member to engage with kindness and respect.
