Philosophy examines beliefs that most of us take for granted most of the time. It is concerned with questions about what could loosely be called ‘the meaning of life’: questions about religion, right and wrong, politics, the mind, science, etc. Most people live their lives without questioning their fundamental beliefs, but philosophy challenges assumptions and the very concepts that we take for granted. Philosophy not only helps us to think clearly about our prejudices, but also helps to clarify precisely what we do believe.
Our discussions are always lively - perhaps because we rarely all agree!
