This Paris style series of talks and discussions, set up by a group of philosophy students studying at Citylit, will meet on the last Friday of every month. 

We are delighted to invite to a meeting on the 29^th of November  celebrated Philosopher, Journalist and academic Jane O’Grady will talk and lead a discussion on the Enlightenment.

The session will begin at 3.30. If you are late you need to text nwp@fimc-ltd.com to be admitted.

"there is nothing elementary about O'Grady's primer. She pulls off the feat of writing a reliable and accessible introduction to modern philosophy that is also a meaningful contribution to the subject." - Times Literary Supplement 

From Descartes' famous line 'I think therefore I am' to Kant's fascinating discussions of morality, the thinkers of the Enlightenment have helped to shape the modern world. Addressing such important subjects as the foundations of knowledge and the role of ethics, the theories of these philosophers continue to have great relevance to our lives.

Ranging across Enlightenment thinking from Berkeley to,Rousseau, Enlightenment Philosophy in a Nutshell explains important ideas such as Locke's ideas of primary and secondary qualities, Kant's moral rationalism, and Hume's inductive reasoning.

Copies of this book will be available at this meeting
