Announcing...The Philosophy Club



The Philosophy Club is an enterprise dedicated to sharing the creative freedom and critical rigour of philosophy with young people.  Its facilitators are trained in the method of collaborative philosophical enquiry which emphasises curiosity, open-mindedness and inclusivity.  The Philosophy Club works with schools to train teachers and to introduce philosophy into the curriculum.

If you could take a pill that would make you feel as responsible towards future generations as you feel towards your parents, would you want to take it?  Would you have a moral obligation to take it?  What if the salvation of the planet depended on us all expanding our circle of moral concern?

The Philosophy Club will conduct small group enquiries into these and other questions raised by Professor Julian Savulescu.  you're invited to join with your peers in responding to an original stimulus and participating in a lively and informal discussion.
