What does it mean to be human?

We have just spent a number of weeks highlighting the differences between us.

The young, the old, the rich, the poor, English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, British, French, German, Italian, Greek, European, American, Australian, Asian.

To what purpose?

And what does it tell us about our species?

About Philosophy in Pubs 

Philosophy in Pubs (PIP) are a group of people who enjoy discussing their ideas and thoughts and learning from each other. No academic or formal background is necessary only a passion for enquiry.

We meet on the second Sunday of each month, always at the Palmeira pub, Cromwell Road, Hove. Normally around 40 – 50 people attend. Groups consist of no more than 10 people and include a facilitator. The idea is for people to engage in dialogue without the constraints of a meeting agenda.
