The Edinburgh Philosophy and Psychology Meetup Group
|
Meet other people who feel the world (and all that's in it) is worth talking about and debating in a friendly social context. An opinion shared is a topic! What's the point in knowing all the answers if you've never really discussed the questions?

Our next meeting:
The Edinburgh Philosophy and Psychology May Meeting
So, for April the topic was The Truth. Truth to tell, it was a great discussion with an animated exchange of views. Perhaps somewhat unexpectedly, lies didn't come out too badly. Motivation rather than veracity seemed to be the key issue. Thanks to the 'regulars' and several new members who joined in to make it a great evening.
What will the topic be for May?. Read more
