SUMMARY:Philosophy in the Park 146 (in Cabot Square)
LOCATION:Cabot Square
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 22% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nConnecting people into Philosophy. All welcome. No previo
 us philosophical experience needed.\n\nWhat it is\n\nPhilosophy in the Par
 k is a fun and friendly space for people to come together and have discuss
 ions that get deep. It’s a safe space where active creative thinking is en
 couraged and enjoyed\, and where everyone can explore abstract concepts in
  a way that combines both sincerity and playfulness. Where the most import
 ant question is always - what do you think?\n\nWhat is Philosophy?\n\nPhil
 osophy is about analysing concepts. It's thinking about thinking. It's not
  about empiricism or the physical world (eg Science and statistics). It's 
 about abstractions\, concepts and ideas (eg Identity\, Morality\, Mind and
  Truth).\n\nHow Philosophy in the Park Works\n\nEach hour begins with a gr
 oup vote on which questions to discuss. You can vote for more than one que
 stion if you'd like.\nWe then break out into groups\, each focusing on one
  of the chosen questions. The question is just a starting point and it's c
 ool if you go on tangents and end up talking about different things. You'r
 e welcome to join in and participate or if you'd prefer to sit back and en
 joy the conversation\, that’s also welcome.\nAfter an hour we regroup\, ta
 ke a quick break and then repeat all over again. So across the 3 hours\, w
 e’ll break out 3 times.\n\nWhere it is\n\nWe will meet by the fountain in 
 Cabot Square (just next to Canary Wharf).\n\nPlease feel free to bring sna
 cks and drinks with you if you want.\nAfter the event finishes most people
  stay and hang out. You are very welcome to join us. There’s are lots of s
 hops nearby where you can get drinks and snacks\, or you can bring your ow
 n.\n\nGuidelines\n\nIn order to make the conversations as fun\, interestin
 g and productive as possible please follow these simple guidelines:\n\n1. 
 Keep it Philosophical\n(No Science\, no History\, no Sociology\, no Evolut
 ionary Psychology\, no contestable facts\, personal anecdotes etc).\n2. Th
 ink for Yourself\n(No phones\, no looking up definitions\, no name droppin
 g Philosophers / books you've read).\n3. Tangents are Cool\n(Don't worry t
 oo much if the subject drifts and you don't answer the question).\n4. Keep
  it Succinct\n(Like this).\n5. Be Excellent to Each Other\n(But of course)
 .\n\nPlease remember: It's not about debating and trying to win - it's abo
 ut listening to people and working collaboratively to increase our collect
 ive understanding.\n\nCommunity\n\nFollow us on instagram: https://www.ins
