Philosophy at Subplot 57: Think and Drink

Founded in 2007 The Philosophy Foundation is a charity which conducts philosophical enquiry inschools,communities, andworkplaces.Our mission is to bring understanding, wisdom and eudaimonia (flourishing) to the heart of education for children and adults.We believe that:Reasoning skills developed through philosophical enquiry are an indispensable foundation of all aspects of learning.Philosophy, like maths, music or physical education, is intrinsically worth doing and intrinsically engaging.All our philosophers hold a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, and are trained to work in the specific setting where they conduct their enquiries, from primary schools to global businesses. Our overall aim is to equip our beneficiaries to participate fully in society.The majority of our work takes place in schools. We work with 6,000 children every year, giving them regular philosophy sessions that develop critical and creative thinking skills. The majority of our schools have over the national average of pupils in receipt of pupil premium.

Join us for convivial conversations around philosophy and life at Subplot 57 underneath Leaf and Groove on the final Wednesday of every month (apart from May). There is a bar available during the evening where you can purchase soft drinks, wine, beer and gin. Drinking and thinking with new friends.
In May we will be thinking about Epicurus and Epicurean philosophy.
Epicurus was an ancient Greek philosopher who established his own school, known as "the Garden", in Athens. For Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life, characterized by ataraxia—peace and freedom from fear— and aponia—the absence of pain— and by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends. 
Come and find out more about his philosophy and legacy with friendly conversations and delicious drinks. There may even be cake this month. To help absorb the gin. Although if we're being Epicurean about it we'll need to make the cake together.
"Loved the event last night and we're looking forwards to next month.  I’m really glad the gin is such good quality, I had several of them but don’t feel half as wooly headed this morning as I deserve…"
Subplot 57 is underneath Leaf and Groove and unfortunately there is no step free access.
