Philosophy group meetings have always been stimulating and lively. The usual format of the meeting is two parts:

• firstly, a short presentation from the group leader on terminology and general philosophy relevant to the main part of the meeting
• secondly, each member of the group takes it in turn to lead the main topic for a meeting.

Most of our topics are taken from a book of 50 brief summaries of well known philosophical ideas. We all read the topic and do some additional reading around the subject. We usually manage to stick to the subject in hand and keep to aspects that have some relevance to present day living. It is lively and well informed resulting in us feeling mentally invigorated.
