The word “philosophy” comes from the Greek “love of wisdom”. It is the study of general and fundamental questions, e.g. the meaning of existence, reason, knowledge, values, mind and language. It involves questioning, critical discussion, rational argument.  We generally have a longish talk followed by discussion and afternoon tea. Then a shorter talk, discussion, then a vibrant group discussion about a controversial subject.
