“ Ask for the backroom and we shall meet there. ”
We meet once a month to discuss philosophy: what it is; the various ways it is and might be done; how you are doing it; and what difference it makes. The discussion can be focused on a topic or free flowing, and is open to all levels of experience.
For our June 20th, 2008 Meetup, we shall discuss Phil Osborne's paper on the 'is-ought' issue in ethics. The paper can accessed online at
Phil will open the discussion with a 5-10 minute synopsis of his thesis.
We invite participants to join us and bring your questions and comments on the is-ought problem in ethics, or on any related topic in ethical philosophy.

“ The low turnout was a problem to begin with. Then the meeting was hijacked - twice! The same individual who arrived late at the previous meeting, dedicated to the philosophy of Nietzsche, and who immediately took over the entire meeting, dictating who could speak and jumping in on top of anyone who she didn't want to speak, cutting off everyone before they could make their point, so that everyone was frustrated all the time, pulled the same stunt at this one. (I suspect a cause-effect relationship between her behavior at the previous meeting and the low turnout this time.) After she arrived, 90% of the discussion was strictly between her and the other hijackers, the Christian Apologetics, for whom this was their first meeting at this meetup. I know them from going of some of their meetings. They have interesting arguments but are basically a one-trick pony with a rigid intellectual agenda. Thus, the paper I put so much into barely got discussed at all. It happens. ” -
“ Phil Osborn summarized and defended his paper on ethics. But a lot of our time was spent discussing and arguing claims made by two guests, Brandy and James, who claimed to show that naturalism failed as a philosophy and tried to show that a "transcendent" cosmology was needed. ” -
