Tuesday 6th December 2016<br />

4.30 - 5.30pm<br />

Churcher’s <strong>College</strong> Lecture Theatre.<br />

Senior Philosophical Society<br />

The Senior Philosophical Society meets informally once a<br />

week for tea and twice yearly to hear a variety of outside<br />

speakers expand aspects of the Ethics and Philosophy<br />

course. The emphasis is on making education enjoyable and<br />

enabling all to enter into discussion should they so wish. A<br />

recent speaker was Post-Graduate Cambridge student Bertie<br />

Probyn (OC) who took us through the current conundrum<br />

of The Paradox of Increase. Students also went to the New<br />

<strong>College</strong> of the Humanities in London, to hear Derren Brown<br />

speak on the subject ‘Happy’. Students are also given<br />

preferable treatment in terms of attending our pre-social<br />

events with our Invited Grill Lecture speakers. Lately we had<br />

the honour of spending valuable time with Lord Ashdown.<br />

These outside speaker events (preceded by drinks and<br />

nibbles) are happy social occasions with challenging<br />

academic rigour. The meetings are open to everyone<br />

(including parents) and all Oxbridge and Medical applicants<br />

are strongly advised to attend.
