PHILOSOPHY CAFE

FROM THE FOOD FOR THOUGHT NETWORK

‘The unexamined life is not worth living', said Socrates, the father of Greek moral philosophy. Have you ever bothered to examine your life and the issues affecting it? If you have, what kind of conclusions have you come to? And what kind of premises are your conclusions standing on? If we sound a bit 'philosophical' here, there is a reason for it. We are pleased to inform those interested in philosophy that we have invited Dr Kostas Vitkos to take us through the path that leads to the great philosophical minds of ancient Greece, as well as to the minds of modern thinkers.

So if you have some spare time (a couple of hours per month), come and join us. We will be discussing Logic, Ethics, Political Philosophy, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Religion, Theory of Knowledge and Contemporary Philosophy.

Dr Kostas Vitkos holds a BA (Hons) Degree in Philosophy and a PhD in Classics. He is the founder of the Society for Ancient Hellenic Studies (est. 1993) and the former editor-in-chief of the bilingual magazine Athena.
