The supporter-exclusive online Cafe Philosophique is an hour of conversation on a topic of the attendees’ choice. This time I’m asking for suggested topics in advance so people have a time to gather their thoughts in advance. Become a supporter from £5 a month to receive the link. That’s less than the price of a ticket to similar online events I’ve done!

How to Think Like a Philosopher (and When Not To)
2021-11-16 20:00 - 21:30
Get ready for an information-rich hour. Most introductions to philosophical reasoning take you through principles of logic, argument and common fallacies of reasoning. This one focuses on general procedures and attitudes rather than formal rules.
The four basic elements of good reasoning are captured in the mnemonic AC/DC: Attend, Clarify, Deconstruct, Connect. Everything we cover falls under one of these categories. You’ll see how they work in practice through examples from the great philosophers of history and our age.
The talk will last an hour with an optional further 30 minutes for questions and discussion.

Identity Matters: The 2021 Jane Wynne Willson Lecture
2021-11-10 19:30 - 21:00
Issues of identity loom large in our world today, as a rallying call in fights against oppression and as source of division and conflict. Why does identity matter so much and does it matter too much? In this talk, Julian will set out some of the philosophical foundations of identity. He will explain how misunderstanding the true diverse nature of identity causes myriad problems and demonstrate how a proper understanding of identity can help us to avoid them.

Who do we think we are – and why?
