Free Public Talk Sunday 29 June 2025; 2.00 – 3.30 p.m. Topic: Journey of a Thousand Miles – In Four Stories

CONTACT US
Philosophers from many cultures and civilisations have resorted to myths and stories wishing to pass on to future generations their knowledge about the spirit that dwells in all human beings and which is the foundation of the universe we live in and experience through our senses. The talk attempts to unravel the wisdom contained within four such stories covering: the decision to start one’s personal journey in philosophy, the question facing all humanity, finding and following a guide and and the drag of the past on the journey. The aim is to put into a proper perspective the value of philosophy to our lives today. The event runs from 2.00 – 3.30 p.m. at the English Language Centre, Salisbury Road, Hove BN3 2GB. All are welcome. Contact us to reserve your place via phone on 07501324150 or by email at philosophysussex@fses.org

How our introductory courses work

A tutor presents philosophical ideas, and leads a discussion based on what arises in the group. Being practical rather than academic, the emphasis is on personal knowledge and experience. Students are encouraged neither to accept nor reject the ideas put forward, but to test them in practice for themselves, in the light of their own experience.
