Philosophy Jammm is now in its fifth year.
During this time, we have discussed and debated topics such as life and
death, good and evil, faith and reason, pleasure, beauty, faith and fear
and more.
In 2002 we conducted a series entitled
‘Great 20th-century minds who have changed our lives’ and heard speakers
talk on Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Sigmund Freud, Georges Bataille
and many more.
In 2003, we continued this series but extended
it outside of the 20th Century and also included literary figures.
In 2004
we will consider some of the Great Philosophical Books of the Twentieth
Century. Each speaker will be providing an accessible introduction to some
of this century's most important books of philosophy.
