About Us
Who we are
The Pinner Philosophy Group are a collection of like-minded people interested in learning and thinking about the incredibly rich variety of philosophical ideas, thoughts and traditions from across the world.
We are a diverse and eclectic group: we come from all walks of life, background and education; some members are completely new to the subject, some have a deep knowledge of philosophy.
But we welcome anyone everyone with an enquiring mind, who seek the pleasures of learning and civilised debate.
What we do
We meet every week for about 10 weeks during the three [school] [university] terms – about 30 meeting a year. One member usually researches, presents and leads the discussion on a specific topic of philosophical interest.
Our discussions cover all the philosophical traditions – ancient to modern – and from across the world. We include topical issues as well, and some one-off topics that interest the group even though they are not directly philosophical.
We also have regular guest speakers – normally two per term – who come in to give us their expert views on a wide range of subjects.
Take a look at the programme for this term on the next page to get a feel for the sorts of topics we cover.

We are good value! £30 for a term gives you tea and coffee, a warm room, lovely folk to talk to and learn from, and above all incredible stimulation from like-minded people who want to learn with, and perhaps even from, you!
It is not intimidating, we promise. Give us a go.
