Mark Vernon on "The Good Life"
Thursday 03 February 2011
18:00 to 19:30
Mark Vernon spoke to Kingston Philosophy Café in our first year, and has just published The Good Life (Hodder) and a Good Life Quiz at www.thegoodlifequiz.com. The quiz and book question some popular self-help messages and recommend the wisdom of the old thinkers as a supplement to the empirical findings of the new psychologists. With New Year behind us and spring just around the corner; perhaps this will be a good time to enquire whether some of the great philosophers can help us lead better lives.
Bridges Café is at the back of Milletts store – but only its riverside door, set back between two pubs, the Bishop out of Residence and the Gazebo, is open from 5.30pm just for Kingston Philosophy Café. Come along early to get a drink and/or something to eat before discussion begins promptly at 6.00pm - and carry on talking afterwards at a nearby pub.
