Philosophy Meetup

Monday 29th January 2007 02:55 in Human Relations

Today I attended a Philosophy meetup here in London, which was interesting. Here are some of the questions I’ll be proposing at future events:

  • Is empirical evidence important when making metaphysical claims?
  • Who is of more value to society - the philosopher of mind or the postman?
  • Is democracy a good thing?
  • Is this a question?
  • Is it important (or even possible) to maintain a fully consistent system of values and beliefs?
  • Are all ethical discussions a waste of time - literally academic - because when faced with actual situations we invariably act on gut feelings, usually in our own short term interests?
