After a two year absence, the London Philosophy Now Meetup Group relaunched in 2011. We are a group of people interested in ideas, and include local readers of Philosophy Now magazine. We meet about once a month in a pub in central London to discuss different philosophical questions.

Philosophy For All is London's most vibrant forum for discussing life, politics, science, art and thought. It is open to anyone interested in ideas. We meet every week, bringing you talks, walks, debates, a film club and much more! Come and hammer out the issues!

This group is dedicated to the discussion of political philosophy in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Poitical philosophy is a fascinating discussion topic because it requires the participants to examine and their own and others opinons regarding some of the most important aspects of life. No prior knowledge of political philosophy is required in order to participate, just an open mind!

(1 minute video) This group is for people who value and enjoy deeper discussions with amazing people and who are also willing to rise to the occasion by joining us to help make these discussion opportunities an ongoing reality. The events held in this group are all about having fun nights of great people and 'deeper' discussions over dinner in a charming restaurant. This Meetup group was created by Glen Brauer as part of a non-profit global initiative using practical philosophy to bring togeth …

We also arrange visits to talks, debates and other events of interest to enquiring minds.

We are ordinary people who ask extraordinary questions, such as 'Who am I?' and 'What is my purpose in the world?' We meet one evening each week in three ten-weekly terms and spend the evening seeking answers in Eastern and Western philosophies, mostly Advaita Vedanta and Plato. So if you enjoy discussing deep things with people of like mind, and practising spiritual exercises to bring peace to our busy days, do join us.

A group for people who enjoy thinking about the nature of everything and believe that questions are more important than answers. For those that like to listen, to converse without judgement and to challenge their own beliefs and ideas. Fun, wit and humour also very welcome! This is a new group and we would love to meet anyone with any level of interest in philosophy. We plan to have monthly meetings at informal venues around Southend; with conversation topics decided upon at the time. Please let …

A chance for people interested in philosophical discussions to meet up in an informal and relaxed way (over a pint or glass of wine) and plunge into the depths of weird and wonderful debates.

Meet other fans of author Ayn Rand and her philosophy of Objectivism - a philosophy of Reason Purpose and Self-esteem that holds human life on this earth as the standard of all values and your life as an end in itself. Ayn Rand was born in Russia in 1905, and moved to the United States in the Twenties. She published "The Fountainhead "in 1943, and "Atlas Shrugged" in 1957; both books have been in print continuously, and are currently available as Penguin Modern Classics. Both books deal with the …

We're bringing geometry out of the classroom and into the boozer. Guided by John Stillwell's The Four Pillars of Geometry, we'll be looking at the development from the classical geometry of ancient Greece through Renaissance perspective drawing to the non-Euclidean spaces underpinning relativity. We're a diverse group of artists and designers, mathematicians, philosophers and other interested parties. Previous mathematical knowledge is NOT required, and we'll be providing support for anyone who …

The Political Animals are a book discussion group who meet up in Central London every 8 weeks or so to have a  few drinks and talk about our reading in political and moral philosophy. For previous sessions we've read everything from philosophy of science to critiques of humanism and modern capitalism - we've taken on contemporary thinkers like Tony Judt, JK Galbraith,  and John Gray as well as classics like J.S. Mill, Nietzsche, Machiavelli, Marx, Weber, Popper, Hayek and Sartre. We try to keep …

A ten week introductory course exploring the big questions of life This course is based on the world’s great teachings, both ancient and modern. It shows the direction towards inner balance through a deeper understanding of ourselves, the world we live in and the underlying unity. The approach is practical rather than academic, so that the ideas and principles can be put into immediate use in daily life. No previous knowledge of the subject is necessary. For extra information see: http://www.phi …

Socrates Cafe is a philosophy discussion group that is open to absolutely everyone. It's held in a casual cafe environment and we encourage everyone to join in - but there's no obligation to do so. We're bringing philosophy back to the people! It's a moderated open discussion about a topic that we choose together on the night. The sessions are facilitated to try to keep everything on topic and give all attendees a chance to speak (if they want to). Socrates cafe is not about finding a definitiv …

Informal meetings for people with an Integral mindset to discuss ... anything that takes our fancy! Having an "Integral mindset" probably means being familiar with Integral Philosophy (Ken Wilber etc.) - but it's not mandatory. Provided you have an open mind with wide-ranging curiosity, you'll certainly feel at home. Our website: http://OxfordIntegral.org

The main aim of this group is to promote debate and discussion. We could chose a topic prior to the session, which will give each of us the time to find good points to talk about. These topics could be current affairs, philosophy, international relations, ethics, subject related (such as science). You could meet new people, have a laugh and have a good time in general. These debates are nothing serious. However, we could try to have a "panel" who can give points to each side and chose a winning …

Jean Paul Sartre: "Existentialism is nothing else but an attempt to draw the full conclusions from a consistently atheistic position." http://bit.ly/6HbK0V Jean Paul Sartre: "Existentialism is not atheist in the sense that it would exhaust itself in demonstrations of the non-existence of God. It declares, rather, that even if God existed that would make no difference from its point of view. Not that we believe God does exist, but we think that the real problem is not that of His existence; what …

What is it? A group of like-minded people meeting to talk about life, the universe and everything. What happens? Together, we’ll come up with a topic to discuss based on a stimulus e.g. a picture, news story or object and then we’ll discuss it. You don’t have to be well read, and you are welcome to sit back and enjoy the debate if you don’t want to join in. It’s all about enquiry and the 4 Cs: Caring - being sensitive and charitable towards others’ ideas; Collaboration - Working together to get …

Learn about the fundamental building blocks of our universe, their amazing properties and the impact of this on lives today. The concepts derived from Quantum Mechanics, the study of the behaviour of the fundamental particles and energies of nature , have been imperative in the shift in understanding of our universe from one of determinism to uncertainty, probability and observation - where objects can no longer be measured exactly but exist throughout Space and Time. We have looked into Black H …

A Course in Miracles is a remarkable book that lays out an entire spiritual path. It describes a philosophy of forgiveness where fear and guilt can be overcome through miracles. Miracles are defined as maximal expressions of love that remove the blocks we all have to the awareness of love’s presence. A Course in Miracles is not an end in itself. We wish to inform people of its existence but we do not seek membership. Our personal experience is that study of ACIM has helped us in our life. We the …

This is a group for people who think. You don’t have to be highbrow, just interested in ideas and things like books, philosophy, religion, personal development, psychology, meditation, travel, politics, languages, ethics or whatever. But it’s also a group for people who want their dogs to be part of their social lives. Maybe you work and want to socialise and meet new people but you don’t want to go out leaving your dog behind in the evenings and weekends. Maybe you’d like company on evening dog …

If you're longing for intellectual discussions and love literature then this is the group for you. I've toyed with this idea for some time but have finally decided to go actively looking for a group that will dawdle over coffee or dinner for hours and hours.. If the idea of violent but civilised discussions on classic literature and poetry fills you with excitement then I hope you'll find a home here. A large group is not the idea at all. A small tightly knit group which shares similar interest …
