Our last meeting saw us examining The Philosophy of Education where we looked at
the thinking behind policies that determine how, why and what children are taught in schools
We also looked at the Types of Intelligence using a very clear article by Mark Vital.
An excellent session.
Our philosophy group meets on the third Wednesday of each month. 
We are a very friendly group, with no experts, just people who are interested in finding out what the meaning of life is all about and what great thinkers have had to say about it. Our discussions have ranged from Plato to the philosophy of walking and lots in between. If you feel you would like to explore Philosophy come along and you will receive a warm welcome and no prior experience of Philosophy is needed.
Our next meeting is on Wednesday 21 st November at Kensington House from 2.30 to 4.30 where we will discuss some of the philosophy of Education. We will also examine some different meanings of intelligence.

Philosophy is not just the preserve of brilliant but eccentric thinkers that it is popularly supposed to be. It is what everybody does when they are not busy dealing with their everyday business and get a chance simply to wonder what life and the universe are all about.
Plato and John Locke are two of the well known philosophers we have looked at together.
