Food for Thought… You are cordially invited to attend an evening dinner extension of the Café Philosophique. If you, like myself and many others I have spoken to, leave the Saturday discussions with a very real appetite, both physical and mental, then this is the perfect opportunity to satisfy both. The enriching experience of the café philosophique, in the context of a large group, is the broad diversity of views and ideas exposed during those sessions. However, it is difficult to achieve continuity and focus within that large open forum and this is the reason the dinner has been arranged. With a smaller group there is the opportunity to get a closer look at particular aspects of a subject in much greater depth. Gale proposes the following subjects for the next two upcoming dinners:
Integrity has become the ethical buzzword of the day in the corporate world. Is it only to be found in this context, or is it a certain benchmark value that is used to model oneself after? When choosing friends and founding friendships is the person’s integrity taken into consideration? If so, what is that is taken into consideration. What is the relationship between integrity and ethics?
Several discussions mentioned the notion of "origins" as a topic to develop. Origins as a beginning, the beginning of human life, the beginning of the universe, the genetic beginning, the historical beginningHow do these origins create a foundation for human existence and what are their impact on one’s identity ? Is there a hierarchy of "origins" and if so, who is to decide ?
For those wishing to attend, a participation fee of £15 will be payable in advance or upon your arrival to cover the cost of fees and expenses.
